You don't need to know much Mercurial to work with the OpenJFX source. OpenJFX uses the Mercurial source code management system. The Oracle JDK will need to be removed from your JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables. īecause the Oracle JDK includes JavaFX, you won't be able to build against it.
I haven't built OpenJFX with it, but I have installed the OpenJFX Java and native libraries in an AdoptOpenJDK distro and run without an issue. This is another OpenJDK distro from AdoptOpenJDK. The OpenJDK distro that I'm working with is from Azul. You'll get warnings if you try to use something later like the current version 4.10.2. OpenJFX uses Gradle to compile the Java and native code and to package the distro. The Windows environment requires Cygwin which provides a command shell. Since there are many breaking changes in JavaFX 9, 10, and 11, I expect JavaFX 8 to be in the field for the next few years. JavaFX 8 is not the latest version of JavaFX (it is 11 at the time of this post). These procedures update the official documentation and describe how to build JavaFX 8 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (the current version as of October 2018). This article shows how you can build your own copy of JavaFX to supplement the OpenJDK. The different distros of OpenJDK do not ship with JavaFX as they do with the Oracle JDK. However for JavaFX apps, this is not a drop-in replacement. With Oracle ending free public updates of Java in January 2019, you might be looking for an alternative.
