Building OpenJFX 9 with OpenJDK 9+181

[Mario Ivankovits]

Hi!

I had the same problems when I tried to build JavaFX for the Raspberry PI this weekend.

I „fixed" that by adding the —add-exports to the build.gradle file.
The Google Drive Link will guide you to a hacky patch to the build.gradle file (+ some other changes). I was able to build JavaFX then. Beware: This patch also disables the systemTests.

Best regards,
Mario

This sounds like a bootstrap problem. I suspect that we are missing the needed --add-exports in build.gradle to build using a JDK that does not already have javafx.* modules.

I filed the following bug to track this:

As a workaround, you can use the Oracle JDK 9 build as the boot JDK.

Hi,

I've some trouble building OpenJFX 9 with OpenJDK 9+181 and Gradle 3.2.1
on Debian. I get the following compilation errors:


/home/ebourg/openjfx9/modules/javafx.base/src/main/java/com/sun/javafx/binding/SelectBinding.java:47:
error: package sun.util.logging is not visible

                ^
   (package sun.util.logging is declared in module java.base, which
does not export it to module javafx.base)

I tried exporting the _JAVA_OPTIONS variable defined in
README-java-options and adding --add-opens parameters to build.gradle
but it didn't work.

What am I missing?
