Felix,

That may very well be the case, in your opinion, but this mailing list is not a forum for advocacy. It is for technical discussions.

Whether you are or you are not an advocate for something or other is not relevant on this mailing list. Maybe there is some other forum where people who are advocates for things meet and have vocal and passionate discussions with each other. In any case, this mailing list is not it, because what you are or what you aren't is not a technical subject to begin with.

Unless you are a robot, of course. But in that case, this mailing list would still be the wrong forum ...

Please, hold off on posting off-topic posts to this list for a week or two.

If for some reason you feel the need to continue to spam this mailing list with off-topic posts, as you have done so far, despite being asked to stop both on and off-list, then I trust that the mailing list administrator could take care of this problem for all of us.

cheers,

Felix,

This is an open source Project's mailing list, specifically for technical 
discussions of that Project's development. It's not an 'open' forum suitable 
for discussion of other issues.

Removing participants that continue to abuse the privilege of being on an open 
source project's mailing list is a useful tool to deal with individuals which 
contribute negatively to a project, if they don't seem to be able to change 
their act.

Read that again. Thank you for giving me the clear answer you promised!

And thanks for the warning in case I accidentally start "spamming". But
surely you wouldn't remove anyone from an "open" forum would you?

*/COULD YOU PLEASE DETAIL EXACTLY WHERE JAVAFX IS USED IN EITHER

Now, please give me the "clear answer" that I "am entitled to" (Your
words, not mine).

(Given that we now know that usage of JavaFX within JMX is about to be
abandoned, and there may be a tiny fraction of JMC that is still gasping
for air written using JavaFX, but knowing how */incredibly
enthusiastically Oracle is advancing JavaFX/*, I *know* there must be
hundreds more examples and I am sure we would all love to hear about
them).  That would give us all a lot more faith in JavaFX. I am sure you
want that don't you?

See - no mention of age of participants, telephony equipment or career
plans! Just JMX and a lot about OpenJFX!

Am I *still* in the wrong forum?

All my blessings,

Felix

P.S. What is this "bitterness" that you speak of?

  Felix, I believe that you are entitled to a clear answer to your
  question:

  Yes, I have considered a career in politics.

  That being said, I would kindly suggest that you stop trying to
  divert[0] technical discussions in this community with off-topic
  posts, such as your contributions to this thread so far, where you
  attempted to discuss :

   * the age of discussion participants,
   * their telephony equipment and
   * career plans,

  none of which have anything to do with JMX or OpenJFX.

  Instead, you should consider unsubscribing from this mailing list
  for a week or two, in order to get clarity in what capacity, if any,
  you'd like to positively contribute to ongoing OpenJFX development.

  As it stands, your current mode of participation on this mailing
  list is a net loss for this community, and apparently, for yourself
  as well, judging by what seems to be an increasing amount of
  bitterness in your posts.

  You can change that.

  All the best,

      Dalibor, please forgive me for assuming that Oracle had access
      to an English language parser. I could translate my original
      question into Klingon and resubmit if that would help.

      And thanks so much for pointing out to me that this forum is
      devoted to "ongoing OpenJFX development".  Clearly I was under
      the misapprehension that it was about unicorns, angels and aliens.

      However, the word "ongoing" probably could do with some
      clarification.

      Oh, and I don't actually *need* to find a forum to discuss
      telephony equipment used by other organisations because such
      information is transparent and clearly indicates belief and
      commitment to their own technologies.

      Just out of interest, have you ever considered a career in
politics?

      And thanks for finally answering my question (even if it was
      accidental)...

          Felix, unfortunately your original question was not
parse-able.

          Before you go on prolonging this thread with more of that,
          please consider that this mailing list is for discussion of
          ongoing OpenJFX development.

          If instead you would prefer to discuss something else,
          please do try to find a more suitable venue for discussion
          of such interests. While I can't help you find an adequate
          forum to discuss telephony equipment used by employees of
          other organizations, I hope that you will be able to find a
          better place to do so in the future.

                      As some of you may be aware, JavaFX has shipped
                      a JMX plugin as a
                      separate jar file along with the JDK (not part
                      of the JRE) in
                      <JDK>/lib/javafx-mx.jar. Development on this
                      plugin stopped prior to JDK
                      8 being shipped, although we continued to ship
                      javafx-mx.jar in JDK 8.

                      Are there any developers that still use this? We
                      haven't seen any bug
                      reports or had questions on it for quite a
                      while. I note that this jar
                      file has been gone from JDK 9 ea since build 111
                      and we are trying to
                      determine how best to address this in JDK 9.

                      Our options are:

                      1) Remove it entirely and drop this tooling
support

                      2) Continue to ship it as a legacy jar file,
                      meaning that any use would
                      require command line qualified exports to be
                      added since it uses
                      internal packages

                      3) Turn it into a proper JDK-only module,
                      javafx.jmx; it would not be
                      one of the default modules, so it would need to
                      be added with -addmods.

                      Obviously #1 would be the least amount of work,
                      and given that it isn't
                      being actively maintained, might be a viable
                      solution. If we do need to
                      keep it, then #2 might be less effort than #3,
                      while still preserving
                      the ability for developers to use it. This is
                      only used for tooling, so
                      requiring qualified exports, as is done for
                      Robot and
                      PerformanceTracker, is not a problem.

                      Separately, if we don't remove it for JDK 9, we
                      probably will deprecate
                      it with the intention to remove it in a future
                      release.
