I updated RunClasspath to include the files in the environment
variable CLASSPATH, and Brian says he can now run Kepler with
jfxrt.jar in the classpath.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for taking the time to respond, it's much appreciated.
I don't have a good answer. To fix this might require changing the code in
build-area/src/org/kepler/build.
I'm not sure, but using ant's -lib argument might do the trick. However, it
seems unusual to need to specify the jre directory and I'm not sure if -lib
would help.
See https://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html
That was a good thought and I gave it a whirl, but Kepler is still unable to
see the JavaFX classes when I use the -lib arg.
It seems like it is a bit of a bug in the jvm if jre/lib/jfxrt.jar is not
being found. Maybe try some of the JavaFX and ant resources on the net? Does
a simple ant file outside of Kepler find the contents of jfxrt.jar?
No, it's not a JVM bug. Oracle is being very conservative about how they deploy
JavaFX. For now, the JavaFX SDK is included with Java 7 but until Java 8 next
summer, you have to manually include the jfxrt.jar when building and running
your apps. (They do have a very detailed deployment instructions for stand
alone apps at http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm )
Perhaps $JDK_HOME is not the JDK that is being used by ant?
I checked that. I modified Kepler's org.kepler.build.Run task to dump out
info on which Java is actually being run and it's using the correct version.
So for now, it sounds like I need to hack up
org.kepler.build.project.RunClasspath to make this work. If you have any tips
or better suggestions please let me know.
Thanks again.
