Hi all! I tried to compile JavaFX with the gradle build, and here are my results, with different settings:
1. *** Closed Everything *** JAVA_HOME=/closed/jdk-8-ea-96/ BINARY_STUB=/closed/jdk-8-ea-96/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar [neugens@galactica rt]$ gradle jfxrt > Loading ... :jfxrtLinux :jfxrt BUILD SUCCESSFUL Running an Hello World with the same configuration, but removing the closed jfxrt.jar still fails: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.javafx.font.PrismFontLoader.loadFont(PrismFontLoader.java:220) at javafx.scene.text.Font.<init>(Font.java:318) at javafx.scene.text.Font.getDefault(Font.java:85) at javafx.scene.CssStyleHelper.<clinit>(CssStyleHelper.java:1329) :( Was't the font code open sourced? 2. *** OpenJDK with closed jfxrt.jar *** The OpenJDK build fails before getting anywhere, which is very surprising to me: JAVA_HOME=/open/jdk-8/ BINARY_STUB=/closed/jdk-8-ea-96/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar [org.gradle.cache.internal.DefaultFileLockManager] Releasing lock on artifact cache (/home/neugens/.gradle/caches/artifacts-23). [org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter] Finished executing task ':graphics:compileJava' [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':graphics:compile'. > Could not find :plugin:. Required by: rt:graphics:unspecified * Exception is: org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolveException: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':graphics:compile'. at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.DefaultLenientConfiguration.rethrowFailure(DefaultLenientConfiguration.java:52) at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.DefaultResolvedConfiguration.rethrowFailure(DefaultResolvedConfiguration.java:36) Any help here would be great... I don't see why OpenJDK is not able to build OpenJFX, even having the closed jar in the path. 3. *** Closed JDK with openjfxrt.jar *** This fails. I expected this, but the build goes very far it seems: public final class AudioClipBuilder implements javafx.util.Builder<javafx.scene.media.AudioClip> [...] symbol: class WebEvent location: class WebEngineBuilder error: cannot find symbol [...] 4. *** OpenJDK with just created open jfxrt.jar *** Well, you guessed this fails too... I wonder how the iOS people got their code working at all... Is there any secret repository you guys are using? 5. *** Running OpenJDK with closed jfxrt.jar *** This is even nicer: Graphics Device initialization failed for : es2, sw Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found [...] Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: No toolkit found at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit(Toolkit.java:213) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:181) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.startToolkit(LauncherImpl.java:637) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplicationWithArgs(LauncherImpl.java:345) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication(LauncherImpl.java:304) I think the OpenJDK build (2.) and running closed jfrt.jar + OpenJDK (5.) are the most serious issues at the moment. I remember that running closed jfx with OpenJDK used to work, but maybe I'm wrong. Any plans to address that, or hints where I can start looking to help out? Cheers, Mario
