maven central deployment? #5

Open jjYBdx4IL opened 7 years ago

jjYBdx4IL commented 7 years ago

Hello!

Would be nice to have openjfx available from maven central and treat it as regular java libraries because right now I'm not touching javafx bec it seems to be not supported without the user having to adjust his java installation. I assume that the classpath exception is valid for all of openjfx.

OpenJFX is integrated in OpenJDK. So you actually like to use it with a different JRE? Which one?

jjYBdx4IL commented 7 years ago

I'm using Oracle JDK 8. And while the lib is included, it is not activated by default. And, yeah, I'd prefer to use the open source version of JavaFX with an arbitrary VM actually bec I don't want to use the closed-source parts from Oracle.

@jjYBdx4IL What do you mean by it is not activated by default? With Oracle JDK8 they changed jfx to be always present, but with OpenJDK you are required to install OpenJFX too.
