Building OpenJFX with errors: ANTLR missing

[Richard Bair]

Hi Tobias,

I've just done a fresh clone & went through the instructions and didn't see this particular issue (I have other issues when compiling with Java 8 on my Mac).

I have:

rbair-mac:lib rbair$ pwd
/Users/rbair/open-jfx/master/lib
rbair-mac:lib rbair$ ls
antlr-3.1.3.jar         antlr-runtime-3.1.3.jar stringtemplate-3.2.jar

Downloaded antlr from http://www.antlr3.org/download/

The other steps I have to take to build on 8 is to (a) use b74 of JDK 8 to build with (anything newer is running into Java 8 bugs with JavaDoc that fails to build), and (b) use jfxrt.jar from b77 of JDK 8, and ( c) for some reason I have to set JAVA_HOME to b74 for things to work.

Richard
