Building OpenJFX requires that you have the binary porition of OpenJFX. You will need to be a member of OTN (Oracle Technical Network) in order to download the binaryAs of JDK7, JavaFX is co-bundled with Java so you will need the version of Java that matches the mercurial repositories you cloned. The rest of this document assumes that you are developing against JavaFX 8 (co-bundled with JDK8) and uses paths and naming accordingly.

Working with OpenJFX and JavaFX

...

Here are the tools required to build OpenJFX:

• JDK1.6 (or greater)8
• Ant 1.8.2
• Mercurial 1.8.2
• Cygwin (for Linux commands on Windows)

Here is the recipe for building OpenJFX (use a Cygwin shell on Windows):

...

• mkdir -p ~/open-jfx
• cd ~/open-jfx
• hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.18/master^{Image Removed}
• cd master
• mkdir -p artifacts/sdk/rt/lib
• cp -r ~/closed-jfx/javafx-sdk2.1.0-beta/rt artifacts/sdk<PATH TO JDK>/lib/jfxrt.jar artifacts/sdk/rt/lib
• hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.1/master/rt^{Image Removed}
• cd rt
• Edit build-defs.xml (comment out '<propertycopy name="javac.debuglevel" from="${ant.project.name}.javac.debuglevel" silent="true" override="true"/>' )cd javafx-ui-controlsif not already commented)
• ant

Here is the command line needed to run OpenJFX (using the controls jar from OpenJFX):

• java -cp ".:/Users/someone/open-jfx/master/rt/javafx-ui-controls/dist/javafx-ui-controls.jar:/Users/someone/open-jfx/master/artifacts/sdk<PATH TO JDK>/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar" test.HelloButton

The above command assumes that you have a class test.HelloButton and that your OpenJFX directory is /Users/someone/open-jfx.
