JetBrainsRuntime VS javafx-gradle-plugin

JetBrains have their tweaks to the JRE available: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime

The major problems begin when you want to leverage the GPU or multimedia components in which case you would want something else.

Jetbrains Runtime – this is bundled with IntelliJ and Android Studio, but with patches focused on optimization for use within an Interactive Development Environment context – doing incremental builds, hot reload of class definition, and embedded Chromium in the runtime. I do not believe the added features are useful for building and archiving Android Applications for distribution, but it will work non-the-less.

Also with 'Java on Truffle' on GraalVM you can use enhanced class reloading

However, I am running IntelliJ on Asahi since June already. They did not provide offical Linux arm64 support, but what since May, when they released the first 2022.2 EAP, they switched to JBR 17 (the JetBrains Java Runtime). JBR 17. Fortunatly, in May, they started to release JBR builds for Linux am64, starting with JBR 17.0.3-b463.3. That meant we had everything we needed to run IntelliJ on Asahi: I just had to set the env var IDEA_JDK=/path/to/arm64/jbr/ to make IntelliJ use the correct JBR. Besides that it was necessary to download a fsnotifier version that was build for arm64 and set the path in ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2022.3/idea.properties.

Have you tried the JetBrains Runtime with DCEVM? https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/tag/jbr17.0.2b396.4

This project's key is replacing x86_64 Jetbrains Runtime (https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime) to arm64 Jetbrains Runtime. Arctic Fox IntelliJ Core version is 2020.3.1, maybe google upgrade core version to 2021.1 as soon as possible. (IntelliJ Core version 2021.1 released at a few days ago.)

Other topics handled in this chapter are Kotlin utilities for JavaFX and direct downloads of JavaFX releases from openjfx.io. The author also explains why FXML is not used in the book. I agree with his view that the XML files are not as dynamic as code and bring a mix of technologies into your project.

One, I don't understand Java environments really well. All I have done so far is create some GUI applications using JavaFX. Wish I could share my code, but unfortunately, its part of my assignments and can't be open-sourced. Second, the instructions I found in the Contributing docs were bare-minimum, and kinda hard to follow for a beginner. An experienced Java developer would get them really quickly, no doubt about that.

JavaFX (an open source, next generation client application platform for desktop, mobile and embedded systems) has many useful out the box UI controls to build modern interactive desktop apps. These include buttons, checkboxes, list views, labels etc, that can be configured and styled in countless ways. I’ve using them for many years at work building mapping apps!

As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that the 4 part webinar actually sets up a lot of it. By this point, you should have installed: your IDE (I used intellliJ), the Java SDK, downloaded the JavaFX file here(that you'll manually add into your project structure), and the MySQL connector J file.

JavaFX works well with Kotlin if you're looking for an imperative toolkit. Just add this plugin in your build.gradle to import it.

You could also download the JavaFX modules separately from https://openjfx.io/
