Description of problem: After installing openjfx, openjfx is not available to java programs. After running a script nearly identical to the one given in the documentation, openjfx is available to programs built against JavaFX. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openjfx-8.0.152-12.b04.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Always, since recently, anyhow. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install openjfx 2. run java program based on JavaFX Actual results: Crash, cannot find JavaFX libraries. Expected results: Required libraries are located by linker. Additional info: I swear this worked before in the past. I had a problem with a java program, traced it to JavaFX problems, install openjfx RPM and it worked. I did that this time, too, but got the same error after installing openjfx. Am I misremembering? Did something change in openjfx package? How should I handled this going forward? Do I need to manage these links myself?
Mabye something did change recently? Looks like there were symlinks before? https://fedora.pkgs.org/27/fedora-x86_64/java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx-1.8.0.144-7.b01.fc27.x86_64.rpm.html I'm not complaining, I'm just confused and want to know what I'm supposed to be doing.

Ah okay, I see. No, I installed openjfx, only. Guess I missed java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx when searching for openjfx. So, java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx requires openjfx? Is that how the dependency is supposed to work? Okay, cool, guess I just installed the wrong thing. Had a 50/50 chance and got it wrong.
I ran into the same bug. (In reply to Paul DeStefano from comment #3) > Ah okay, I see. No, I installed openjfx, only. > > Guess I missed java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx when searching for openjfx.

So these two packages should Require: each other. I've created a patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openjfx/pull-request/1 I can confirm that installing java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx works around the issue.

Due to the way openjfx integrates to Java makes it hard to package. See bug 1145303 for discussion about the different strategies. This patch will cause other issues.
I will close this bug. You need to install java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
