JavaFX 11 snapshots in maven sonatype

[MUELLER-SCHRAMM Gerd]

Hi Johan,

Gradle doesn't ignore the classifier but there is no Windows- and Linux-version for the latest snapshot "20180702.224902-3". Gradle always checks for the latest snapshot, adds the classifier and tries to download this. The classifier 'mac' works with gradle. So all platform versions of JFX need the same snapshot version.

Best regards,
Gerd

Subject: JavaFX 11 snapshots in maven sonatype

A first batch of snapshots for the JavaFX 11 modules is now in the maven sonatype snapshot repository (see https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/openjfx/ although you probably don't want to work with these artifacts directly but use build tools like maven or gradle to do that)

This is work based on the not-yet-merged PR#83:
https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/pull/83

Basically, you need to specify which modules you need (transitive dependency management will be handled by maven as the modules contain a pom.xml with the same dependencies as the module-info.java), e.g.


<dependency>
  <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
  <artifactId>javafx.controls</artifactId>
  <version>11.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>


I have a few samples that show how you can use those artifacts in your maven project:
https://github.com/johanvos/javafx11samples (note that this is a temporary
repository)
the topics/javafx3d directory contains a number of standalone samples that can be executed via mvn clean install exec:java

Note that some of the samples create a build.gradle as well, but I never managed to get gradle working with the combination of classifiers and SNAPSHOT versions (it's actually the reason why I went back from gradle to maven in other projects -- e.g. dl4j related).

If someone else can somehow fix the build.gradle, that would be great of course.

Before PR#83 is merged, it would be nice to have a few reports from people using the snapshots.
