I have a project using Netbeans 8.2 on JDK8 using the standard Ant based build
system (no maven). I modernized with the IDE to Netbeans 11 on OpenJDK12 and it
mostly went fine. But I can't figure out how to inform the IDE and build system
of the OpenJFX 12 dependency. Both the IDE and build system complain about
missing JavaFX packages in the project sources. I tried: Tools > Libraries ->
adding a new OpenJFX12 package pointing to the JFX JARs. But then I see no
mechanism for informing the relevant projects to use that. I'm on Windows 7 64.
Any pointers appreciated. Sorry if this is a dumb question. A clear working
answer is not forthcoming on the web. It doesn't help that I'm a relative Java
& Netbeans novice.
I also tried downloading the OpenJFX JMODs package and merging the JMOD, JAR,
and DLL files into the OpenJDK12 folder structure itself. The IDE syntax
highlighting still complains about missing JavaFX packages, but the build then
gets farther along to a point where it says:
Classpath entry C:\Program Files\OpenJDK\jdk-12.0.1\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar
does not exist; skipping
C:\Program Files\netbeans11\harness\build.xml:150: The JARs [C:\Program
Files\netbeans11\platform\modules\org-netbeans-libs-javafx.jar, C:\Program
Files\OpenJDK\jdk- 12.0.1\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar] contain no classes in the
supposed public packages javafx.animation.*, javafx.application.*, [...] and so
cannot be compiled against
BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)
I think the jfxrt JAR is obsolete in the newer OpenJFX? Not sure how to
proceed. Is OpenJFX not supported in a straightforward way with the classic Ant
build system? Maybe redoing the build system from scratch with Maven is the
most sensible thing to do?
