Drombler FX: building modular JavaFX applications with OSGi and Maven (original) (raw)

Hi Filipe,

From code inspection I think Florians solution is the way to get JavaFX running in Felix because he's modifying "org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra". If I'm not 100% mistaken your solution will hit what I describe at http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2012/08/01/javafx-2-2-and-osgi/ in the "Straight Repackageing" section.

In short: If a user runs with your solution on a JDK which has JavaFX preinstalled the native code from the JDK will be picked up and the Java-Code from your module-fx and there are good chances that they don't match!

If I got the solution from Florian right he's using org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra to teach OSGi the new packages and somehow modifies the application classpath, or something similar.

My Equinox solution on the other hand has the advantage that you don't have to control the bootstraping which is e.g. the case when you want to use JavaFX inside an Eclipse Plugin.

Hi everyone,

I create a simple project called ModuleFX that also make you capable of run JavaFX application over OSGI, It's still very simple, but if anyone get intersted here's the link: https://github.com/filipeportes/ModuleFX

I'm happy to announce the availabilty of a first Early Access version of Drombler FX. Drombler FX is a modular Rich Client Platform for JavaFX. You can read more about it here: http://puces- blog.blogspot.ch/2012/12/drombler-fx-building-modular-javafx.html There's a Getting Started page which explains how to create, build and run a Drombler FX sample application with a few simple steps: http://wiki.drombler.org/GettingStarted - Florian
