Cross Compilling linux Arm OpenJdk9 javaFx

[Dell Green]

Currently use Arm java8 from Oracle and compile Openjfx for Arm and overlay libraries for current product line. Looking to test Java9 on Arm and upgrade product line in next generation release.

Cross Compiling openJdk9 for Arm works fine

Trying to compile openJfx from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/jfx-dev/rt
Running gradle -PCOMPILE_TARGETS=armv6hf produces swing errors even though  COMPILE_SWING is false in build.gradle.


home/dell/Documents/IwOpenJdk9/src/openjfx/rt/modules/javafx.swing/src/main/java/module-info.java:36: error: file should be on source path, or on patch path for module
module javafx.swing {

/home/dell/Documents/IwOpenJdk9/src/openjfx/rt/modules/javafx.swing/src/main/java/com/sun/javafx/embed/swing/SwingNodeHelper.java:26: error: file should be on source path, or on patch path for module
package com.sun.javafx.embed.swing;....

Problem seems to be with build.gradle line 2154 which has swing tasks being disabled if COMPILE_SWING is false. However this code is commented out.

/* should not be built, but needed in JMX
    tasks.all {
        if (!COMPILE_SWING) it.enabled = false
    }
   */

if I uncomment it these errors go away and the build completes.

The resulting armv6hf-modular-sdk folder created by the build is added to jdk configure script with '-with-import-modules=' option as per build instructions.
Building the jdk now fails with java.base module FindException, are these 2 problems related?


Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
