Hi all! I'm getting: Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application for a certain Java app. I'm hoping someone can tell me what bits and pieces I need to install (and maybe where to find them) so I can satisfy that app's appetite without screwing up my system. Thanks in advance! Fred PS: I see openjfx at openjfx.io. I assume that if this version is appropriate for C7, that I need the one containing the jmods, not the SDK? Again, clues will be much appreciated! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know? Have you not heard?

[CentOS] JavaFX on C7 ?

No. Red Hat does not have plans to deliver JavaFX or the OpenJFX project in our distribution." I thought JavaFX/openJFX was integrated into openjdk-11 (actually 9 according to the openjdk site), so I expected to see something along the lines of 'not in JDK8, but included standard with JDK11'. The above statement suggests they did not even build it into 11 on RHEL7 [2], and possibly not even on RHEL8. It might be interesting to know why... could it be a combo similar to [5] and not wanting to drop $2M/year on the MPEGLA cabal to do like Cisco[4]? I have been told that getting javafx to build, on EL, is quite a bit of pain and thus have not tried it myself. Though I have been eyeing the work over at [3] wondering how much grief it would be to start with that, port it to 11 and try to use it with cisco's h264[4] instead of ffmpeg[5]. In the meantime, it looks like if we really need JFX, we will have to stoop down to the Oracle version and the maintenance fun that brings. Hope this helps, and please let us know if you find a better or workable way[6] before we do. [1] https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013#FAQ [2] confirmed by Fred Smith, when he opened this thread. [3] https://github.com/atejeda/openjfx-el [4] https://www.openh264.org/ [5] I need it to work, but I need it unquestionably legal. I may disagree with Patents on math and logic, but they are legal in the country I work in, and thus must not be breached when working for its government. AFAIK some of the needed stuff in ffmpeg is still covered. [6] besides ditching the javafx portions of the program, which is what I am truly considering. -- Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer.
