Hi!

That is javafx application. Its support may be probably added to IceTea-Web out of Rhel cycle, however javafx jar nor javafx nativer binding are not finished for openjdk, and are unlikely to reach rhel.

In interesting case - if implemented to itw - itw would be able to run agaisnt oracle jdk.  

OpenJFX is  product which was released recently, and is just about half an year in latest Fedora. Also It is far from being complete.

Adding Deepak to CC as he may have to say lot for Openjdk x openjdfx x rhel.

Sorry for negative news.

Comment 3 Deepak Bhole 2018-01-29 16:47:43 UTC

There is a JavaFX tracker already. I will mark this as a dupe.

ITW should not link to Oracle JDK imo; besides, OracleJDK's WebStart implementation would already support it.

Just note - itw will not support  jfx:javafx-desc  element out of the box. it  have to be implemented on top of javafx general suppor, in itw itself. I have no idea how compelx task it maybe, but guess a lot.

Comment 5 jiri vanek 2018-02-07 12:35:31 UTC

I have implemented javafx-desc support for ITW. It works moreover fine with JavaFX as we have it in fedora. I have posted long info into Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145303#c140
