Building from source code (original) (raw)

We need to update the instructions, but basically all you need is a way to locate the jfxrt.jar that matches the openjfx version you are trying to build.

For FX 8, you need to download the EA version of JDK8 at: http://jdk8.java.net/download.html

You can use JDK7 to build openjfx...just point your JFXRT_HOME env variable to the JDK8 jre/lib directory.

I was trying to go through the process of downloading the source code, and it seems the directions are a bit out of date.

The specific issue is with the developer preview binary. The instructions say to download it and unzip it. The download link ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html), goes to a page where there is nothing that can be downloaded and "unzipped". Can I use the JDK7 install I already have? Or do I need to find something else? Thanks, Mark http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/getting-started.html - Download the latest JavaFX Developer Preview binary<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html> - Unzip the binary and put it in ~/closed-jfx - [snip]
