The source for openjfx/8/master is always kept in sync with the latest weekly build (plus or minus a few hours depending on when the build is uploaded to java.net), so if you take the currently weekly build of jdk8 and build openjfx/8/master against that jfxrt.jar in that build, it should work.

I just tried this and had no problems building it. Btw, the specific class you metioned, com.sun.javafx.UnmodifiableArrayList, was added several weeks ago so I suspect that yours is a different problem. Can you double-check that you are actually picking up the jfxrt.jar from jdk8-b61 ?

I have the same issue when working with the source code of JavaFX 8: downloaded an EA bundle of JDK 8, copied the jfxrt.jar to the artifacts directory, and then trying to build open-jfx. There are a number of missing methods or classes in the jfxrt.jar that is bundled with JDK8 EAb61 (e.g. UnmodifiableArrayList which is expected to be in import com.sun.javafx.UnmodifiableArrayList) Is there a way we can get the latest jfxrt.jar in order to build open-jfx?

Indeed, the latest EA release is at least a week behind internal development work. So that is entirely possible. -- On Oct 24, 2012, at 6:40 AM, Tom Eugelink <tbee at tbee.org> wrote:

The JavaFX link only contains demo's. But the JDK8 EA indeed contains a JavaFX8 jfxrt.jar. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the version that the demo app is compiled against (a method is missing). But down to one error. Thanks!

It seems from the compilation errors that it requires JavaFX 8. Is there a early access binary release is JFX8 available anywhere? Because since JFX is not fully open sourced, I do not think I'll be able to compile it myself. Or am I? Tom
