Re: OpenJDK 8 and JavaFx for Windows 7

2018-12-06 Thread Artur Khusainov 
I confirm that JavaFX 11 (and 12 so far) still support Windows 7, both x86
and x64. What wouldn't 8? :)

What DLLs are missing exactly?

If your application use media (e.g. MediaPlayer), then it will fail to
start with missing gstreamer-lite (glib-lite.dll) library. JavaFX doesn't
build media and WebKit by default. You should specify them explicitly:

./gradlew -PCOMPILE_WEBKIT=true -PCOMPILE_MEDIA=true build

Re: OpenJDK 8 and JavaFx for Windows 7

The msi extracts 2 folders. The 8jre Folder, that does not contain javafx.
And the jdk Folder wich has a jre with javafx.

Thanks for making me look again (I checked the jre8 Folder only at first).

Cheers,
Stefan

Are you sure? According to this article and other sources it does 
support JavaFX:


Search for JavaFX.

Hi,

this probably an annoying question, but I cannot find a solution.

I am trying to find a JavaFX build that is compatible with OpenJDK 8 and
Windows.

So far I tried:
Taking the AdoptOpenJDK Build for Windows 64 and JavaFX Drop-In from
https://chriswhocodes.com/.

This works very well for Windows 10. But on Windows I cannot start the
application due to missing DLLS (I presume).

My hunt through the internet led me to a post which basically said:
OpenJDK 8 and JavaFx will never work on Windows 7.
Is this true?

The Reasoning behind my search is the desire to switch to an openjdk which
is supported a bit longer than the oracle 8 jdk, but with javafx for
Windows integrated.

The new JavaFX page only deals with JavaFx11, sadly.

If there is a way to build javafx myself, so that it works with
WIndows7/10/OpenJDK please kindly guide me to a description.

Hi,
