[kepler-users] classpath issues

[Brian Schlining]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for taking the time to respond, it's much appreciated.

That was a good thought and I gave it a whirl, but Kepler is still unable to see the JavaFX classes when I use the -lib arg.

No, it's not a JVM bug. Oracle is being very conservative about how they deploy JavaFX. For now,  the JavaFX SDK is included with Java 7 but until Java 8 next summer, you have to manually include the jfxrt.jar when building and running your apps. (They do have a very detailed deployment instructions for stand alone apps at http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm )

 I checked that. I modified Kepler's org.kepler.build.Run task to dump out info on which Java is actually being run and it's using the correct version.

So for now, it sounds like I need to hack up org.kepler.build.project.RunClasspath to make this work. If you have any tips or better suggestions please let me know.

Thanks again.
