Hello,
* Does it means you're interested to port swing/text package to JavaFX ?
If the case, I will integrate your community to participate.
* This debate is a true problematic,
** First, "Do it yourself" !
I recently posted a message about MathML support in JavaFX. MathML
display is broken since 2015. This is the same response : if that's a
priority for you, you can do it by yourself :
"If you are interested in seeing that this bug get fixed
sooner, then I might suggest that you consider contributing a fix
for
this bug youself."
** Secondly, how to participate in this project ?
Ok, but my experience was not the best in hacking OpenJDK by myself.
Without several supplications and an active sponsoring of an Oracle
Engineer my patch would have never be pushed in the OpenJDK. My reponse
to Kevin message :
"I already contributed to openjdk specific bugs for the same reasons you
give me. An issue in the swing/text package. My patch was posted in 2012
and accepted in 2017 for JDK9. It hasn't been a great experience for me.
I'm working on Math notation support in swing/text package.
And the day that I also try to work with JavaFx ... the MathML support
is broken !
I'm really interested in seeing this bug fixed.
That's why, I first contacted F. Wang from Igalia who worked on MathML
integration in WebKit because I thought that it was a WebKit issue. But
he answered me that it's probably a bug in OpenJFX because in others
WebKit based applications, all works fine. He suggested me to post a bug
report. Thus I made a look to the bug database and discovered that it's
an old issue. This issue doesn't disappear with the new WebKit version
in JavaFX.
And now, I'm trying to contact Murali to know what I can expect in the
future releases.
I would be happy and proud to fix this issue but there is no
documentation about WebKit integration in OpenJFX.
I hope Murali will add a comment about he plans to look at this."
** Finaly, I don't know ...
Murali added his comment in the bug report last week : MathML support is
not a priority. What I 'll have to do now ? No response !
I hope not offense anybody with my bad english. I'm a pretty
constructive person.
Best regards.
