Hi,
I have a javafx application published to a nexus server that I want to
launch from a groovy script.
The application has javafx jar defined as compileOnly (provided in maven
lingo) so javafx must be added to the classpath.
When i use a full jdk that includes javafx the applicaton works great
but for some reason @Grab does not play well with javafx (i have no
issues with other dependencies)
The script (called gade.groovy) looks like this:
@Grab('org.openjfx:javafx-controls:21.0.6')
@Grab('org.openjfx:javafx-web:21.0.6')
@Grab('org.openjfx:javafx-media:21.0.6')
@Grab('org.openjfx:javafx-swing:21.0.6')
@Grab('se.alipsa:gade:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT')
import se.alipsa.gade.Gade
import org.openjfx.application.Application
this.class.classLoader.URLs.each { url ->
if (url.toExternalForm().contains("javafx")) {
println "URL: $url"
}
}
Application.launch(Gade.class, [] as String[])
Running it with `groovy gade.groovy` results in
unable to resolve class org.openjfx.application.Application
@ line 21, column 1.
import org.openjfx.application.Application
If i remove the Application import and Applicaton.launch lines the output is
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-swing/jars/javafx-swing-21.0.6.jar
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-graphics/jars/javafx-graphics-21.0.6.jar
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-base/jars/javafx-base-21.0.6.jar
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-media/jars/javafx-media-21.0.6.jar
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-web/jars/javafx-web-21.0.6.jar
URL:
file:/home/username/.groovy/grapes/org.openjfx/javafx-controls/jars/javafx-controls-21.0.6.jar
When examining the content of e.g. javafx-controls-21.0.6.jar in the
grapes cache reveals an essentially empty file (just the META-INF dir)
which leads me to believe that the transient classifier platform
implementation jars was not fetched properly and added to the
classpath. Does anyone know if there a way to get @Grab to play nicely
with javafx?
