adoptium VS javafx-gradle-plugin

Used the recommended JRT https://adoptium.net/

Wandered through the https://github.com/hneemann/Digital site and saw past issues with JRT but no obvious solution.

I have a couple hundred GALs of same or similar model number of new old stock

Oracle Java is shit use https://adoptium.net/ or another one

Some options for those who prefer to avoid the Oracle minefield:

https://adoptium.net

https://aws.amazon.com/corretto

https://www.azul.com/downloads

Sadly, no-one has managed to package it yet, but we should get something in the next couple of days. Since 21 is an "LTS" release, major Linux distributions will provide a runtime pretty soon. Ubuntu backports them to old releases too.

I'm using this one on MultiMC. https://adoptium.net/

some of these will take care of java for you, others are more manual. if you need java, I recommend https://adoptium.net/

You can totally use VSCode. It's Java support is quite good (it really uses Eclipse under the hood basically). You can compile Java code by hand if you install the Java Development Kit. You can also use a build tool to help you. Maven is the most used one. It has a bit of a learning curve but makes using libraries a lot easier.

It has a very active community, nothing is dead when there are active users. It has been living as independent package for a long time https://openjfx.io

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/
