Re: Media is now opensource

2013-10-21 Thread Kirill Kirichenko
It will be once we create a 9.0 repo and merge our sandbox with the 
openjfx repo. Currently we have a working version of Recording/Capture 
APIs with FXMediaRecorder demo (in apps) implemented on Windows.

Linux and Mac implementations are to be done.

So expect more to be coming soon.

Kirill.

We don't support it, and frankly there hasn't been any demand. I think along it 
easier to plug in codecs and letting developers do this (vs having built in 
support) is the way to go because shipping codecs with the platform (not app) 
is fraught with legal headaches.

All of the JavaFX runtime is open source except for the third-party code 
that we cannot ship (e.g., the On2 codec that Kirill mentioned, and the 
T2K font library, for which we have an open replacement), and the FX 
deploy code, which depends on the JRE deploy code. Additionally, the JMX 
code, which is shipped as part of the JDK (not the JRE) as javafx-mx.jar 
has not been open-sourced, but it is only used for optional tooling (and

For T2K, I'm a little unclear and hope someone can help clear up for me under 
what circumstances we use T2K in the shipping product. My current understanding 
was that we use native fonts for every platform except maybe embedded, but that 
we want to switch from T2K to native fonts (Pango or HarfBuzz or whatnot) soon.

 For you guys at RedHat, the answer is: everything is open source. Go
 forth, build, and prosper :-). I read on twitter Miho succeeded in a build
 of OpenJFX based on OpenJDK. I think the doors are open for business. Other
 than we still need the mercurial server moved from version .9 to something
 modern so that we can have outside committers commit to the repo directly,
 whereas right now it would require gate repos. Sadness. But if it takes a
 Gate repo we'll use a darn gate repo so that we can be a real open source
 project.

Does JavaFX support VP8 and, if not, when will it support it?

 Yes, we don't own the code (Google does!) so we can't release it. Google
 has opened VP8, the successor to VP6, but not VP6.
