Hi Carl, As FYI weare getting towards the end of a major effort to allow VS2017 to be usedto build JDK 8(inc. JavaFX). We are about to carry out some internal (to Oracle) final build runs with JavaFX/JDK 8 and VS2017. I'd say we need another couple of weeks to run a few builds and knock down an

Hi, Kevin R. replied to an email I put to the list about compiling with Visual Studio 2017. I'm not very good with Mercurial and thought 8.0b132 was the most current JavaFX 8. What tag, branch, or repo would I use to compile the version of JavaFX 8 closest to what just shipped in Oracle's JDK

Updated code review policies posted on OpenJFX Project Wiki

The updated code review policies that we discussed last spring are now posted on the OpenJFX Project Wiki [1]. For the most part, we have effectively been following these for the past several months. This will formalize the policies in a way that will be easier to point new contributors at. If

Just so you are aware, the 8.0-b132 tag is for the JDK 8 GA release, which was shipped in March 2014. That one does require gradle 1.8, and also requires Visual Studio 2010 on Windows, since the changes to support VS 2017 went in much later. I'm not sure why you want to build something that old

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I’m following both wiki pages on building the tip and the 8u versions. For this tag (8.0-b132), I get the following error with Gradle 4, so I downgraded to 1.8. > java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration I pulled the vers

Hi Carl, The instructions for building OpenJFX 8 are in the wiki [1], though I never built this version myself. Usually when "cl.exe" is not found it's because of a wrong MSVC_VER variable value. In VS 2017, this file is located under "VC\Tools\MSVC\\bin" (there are 4 versions under this folder t

Hi Amno, I don't understand what "two j/sdk(s)" is. If you've unzipped the openjfx SDK's, point to them in Eclipse in the Java Build Path of your project by adding a library or external jars like you would any other dependency. - Nir On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 5:28 AM Amno Jeeuw wrote: > I have d
