Hi felix users,
A couple of weeks I posted a question named 'Felix and javaFX/third
party jars'. I found a solution, which I report here in hope it will
be helpful. Please feel free to comment the taken approach. This will
improve my coding/ OSGi skills :)
JavaFX (JFX) uses reflection to instantiate FX classes. As each bundle
has its own class loader, classes were not found. It was reported to
set the com.sun.tools.javafx.script.classpath system property or set
the classpath attribute in a ScriptContext instance. The latter was
not helpful as the BundleActivator is already a JFX class, not a POJO
and I have no clue to implement the first. So, I took the approach to
bundle the JFX SDK as an extension bundle to system.bundle and
configure felix to auto-activate the wrapped JFX SDK. This works well
apart from the fact that the same issue arises for my own JFX
packages. I did the same trick. I bundled my own JFX packages as an
extension bundle to system.bundle and the JFX bundle activator as a
plain bundle. This solution works well, although I prefer to see the
JFX packages and the activator in the same bundle. Maybe that is a
puzzle for the next JFX release...
