Hi, Following a discussion I had on the OpenJFX mailing list [1] I'd like to understand what path there might be for supporting the addition of OpenJFX to a post-jigsaw OpenJDK deployment.
Currently (JDK8) the easiest way to create an OpenJDK+OpenJFX deployment of Java and JavaFX is to use the "overlay" mechanism. This is provided by the "openZip" gradle task in OpenJFX and creates a zip file that can be unpacked on top of an existing OpenJDK installation (self-built or Azul's Zulu OpenJDK). This relies upon a pre-jigsaw "jre" layout and I've filed a bug [2] as suggested by Kevin Rushforth to act as a reminder that this won't work with JDK9. It seems likely that OpenJFX will be neither modularised nor integrated into the OpenJDK repos in time for JDK9 so I'm looking for guidance on what the recommended mechanism will be for combining the two? Many thanks, Chris @chriswhocodes [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/openjfx-dev/2015-August/017739.html [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134725
