Re: Felix and JavaFX

I spent most of the day yesterday googling to find out if there is a way to build a JavaFX desktop application based upon Felix. So far I've not found anything that advises how to do this or if it is even possible at this stage of development. Can anybody point me to an article that explains how,

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Thanks Thomas. I guess there must be a way. I wish he would have just explained how to use JavaFX with Felix rather than develop a whole third party development environment. On Sun, Jul 9, 2017 at 9:19 AM, Thomas Driessen wrote: > Hi Chuck, > > maybe this Project is an interesting starting

Hi Chuck, It's an old post but could be what you're looking for http://paulonjava.blogspot.nl/2014/11/making-javafx-better-with-osgi.html?m=1 Regards, Bram Op 9 jul. 2017 19:05 schreef "Chuck Davis" : > Thanks Thomas. I guess there must be a way. I wish he would have just > explained how to

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Thanks Bram. I actually read that yesterday but unfortunately it's Eclipse related and that ties me to Equinox. So far I haven't found anything to like about Eclipse and I want true OSGi compatibility -- not tied to a specific IDE or OSGi implementation. At least the Eclipse people are wrestling

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Hi Chuck, Using Eclipse as an IDE does not tie you into using Equinox for your runtime. I don’t know much about JavaFX but what is the actual problem you are experiencing with it? Isn’t it just a library like any other? Neil > On 9 Jul 2017, at 18:18, Chuck Davis wrote: > > Thanks Bram. I a

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Hi Chuck, Had another look as I would've been supirised if Paul was using Equinox ;) but I don't see anything related to that, and the sample on that's on GitHub runs on Felix [1] So Eclipse (with Bndtools) is only used as IDE and as Niel already mentioned that doesn't force you to use Equinox

Re: Felix and JavaFX

It's hard because Felix does not (or did not used to at least) export the javafx classes to bundles. This project fixes that: https://github.com/edvin/javafx-osgi [https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/977035?v=3&s=400] edvin/javafx-osgi

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Thanks Renato. I'll investigate that project...sounds like a real time saver. At least get me to the next problem that Paul's article lays out... On Sun, Jul 9, 2017 at 3:00 PM, Paulo Renato de Athaydes < renatoathay...@hotmail.com> wrote: > It's hard because Felix does not (or did not used to

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Hi Neil: I'm just beginning my investigation of OSGi because I want to do things that it sounds like OSGi was designed to do and I'm too lazy to reinvent the wheel if it already exists. I develop desktop business applications and my development style is already quite modular in concept but I want

Re: Felix and JavaFX

Hi Chuck, I read through Paul’s article and it still looks very relevant and well written. You don’t really want to use bnd directly. It’s a low-level tool… it would be like using javac and the jar tool directly from the command line, rather than via a build system. Does anybody still do that??
