Building from source code (original) (raw)

Yes, if you use FX 8, you need the jfxrt.jar from JDK8. Most developers should just use this.

The JDK 7u10 / FX 2.2.4 release will soon be renamed to 7u12 / 2.2.6. If you download the latest EA build of jdk7u it will contain the corresponding FX bits (which today will be 7u10-b09).

If you are going to be playing with Java 8, use the JavaFX 8 repos, the 2.1 repos don't play well with Java 8

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master/rt If you are using a current Java 7, use the 2.2 or 2.2.4 builds (7u9 or 7u10ea respectively). http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master/rt http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2.4/master http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2.4/master/rt I may be wrong on 2.2.4, did that version number get bumped with the 7u7 patch?

Thanks for the quick reply. Just to recap: I have JDK 7 on my machine. It sounds like I should be using JDK8 to play with the FX sources (which are for FX8?) Is this more what I should be doing? - *Download the latest JavaFX Developer Preview binary<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html> * - Replace with Download JDK8 - Unzip the binary and put it in ~/closed-jfx - mkdir -p ~/open-jfx - cd ~/open-jfx - hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.1/master - cd master - mkdir -p artifacts/sdk/rt - cp -r ~/closed-jfx/javafx-sdk2.1.0-beta/rt artifacts/sdk - *Replace with cp the jfxrt.jar from JDK8 to articacts/sdk * - hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.1/master/rt - cd rt - Edit build-defs.xml (comment out '<propertycopy_ _name="javac.debuglevel" from="${ant.project.name}.javac.debuglevel"_ _silent="true" override="true"/>') - cd javafx-ui-controls - ant
