3. JavaFX has been removed from JDK 11 as of this week. Starting with
jdk-11+14, early access builds of JDK 11 will not include JavaFX.
4. After jdk-11+14 is posted on java.net, and FX is no longer included
in JDK 11, we will start using openjfx-11 as the fix version in JBS to
distinguish it from JDK 11. We still expect to do a release of JavaFX
11 around the same time as JDK 11, but using a different release
number will help track the actual content of JavaFX 11 separately from
JDK 11.
I'm not sure if it's intentional or perhaps a bug on my end, but I
cannot compile JavaFX without Oracle JDK(9 or 10). Attempting to do so
with a self compiled JDK with JavaFX support results in a build fail
while doing it without JavaFX entirely results in a fail due to
Observable classes being missing.
Is Oracle JDK a requirement for building JavaFX currently or is this
just some weird bug with my compiled JDK?
And could the new standalone modules be integrated with the source code
somehow so that a JDK without JavaFX support can be compiled?
5. Once this settles down, possibly later this week, I hope to restart
the discussion about OpenJFX policies, etc. I also hope to be a bit
more responsive over the coming days / weeks than I have been for the
last 3-4 weeks. Getting the standalone OpenJFX working and removing
JavaFX from the JDK was quite time consuming as you can probably imagine.
If you have any general comments or questions about any of this,
please reply to this thread. We may want to split out more detailed
discussions into their own thread to make it easier to follow.
As I wrote before and am still having issues with, after a successful
first compile, JavaFX no longer compiles in Arch Linux for me. Any
attempt to do so results in a bunch of warning messages(see:
https://pastebin.com/rJqu7Nws) which cause the build to fail due to
warnings being treated as errors(Should they even be ignored?). In
addition. I'm now getting a GCC warning about XIMProc returning an int
when it should return void (*). I don't know C or the native APIs so
right now I'm at a loss of what to do besides trying to compile on
another distro - which is something I *really* would prefer not to have
to do.
