reveal
Hey, I'm using the adoptopenjdk8 but I'd like to use reveal, does anyone know if there's a way I can get javafx?
I haven't done this with reveal, but I recall that some Zulu OpenJDK releases from Azul might JavaFX, at least enough to run Cognitect's REBL, and perhaps those help with Reveal, too.
e.g. on this page if you scroll down a bit, there are popup menus for JDK version, Operating system, and "Java Package". Under "Java Package" if you pick "JDK FX" then it should show you what they provide there.
I tried a few java8 builds including zulu but no success
AFAIR I tried zulu with javafx but I might give it another go
Sean do you know a more convenient way of installing zulu/fx (on a mac) than downloading the installer?
I tried the zulu jdk with jfx and it worked for me (on mac catalina)
Nice. I'll give it another go sometime
It never occurred to me to look for an alternative to just downloading it and installing it...
I suppose I'm a bit spoiled by brew install adoptopenjdk11
Thanks @andy.fingerhut I'll give that a go
what problem did you get?
can't remember exactly but some required classes couldn't be loaded or something along those lines
I didn't spend too much time trying to figure it out
but if you find a solution I'd be interested
There are two different Zulu JDKs: one with JavaFX bundled and one without. For Reveal you need to use the one with JavaFX bundled. I ran REBL for ages using the Zulu JDK with JFX and it should be the same with Reveal.
Ah, I see Andy already told you that in the main discussion on the channel.
