Hi! > currently I'm developing a email client using OpenJDK8 and openJFX8 (and > of course javamail) under FreeBSD 11 STABLE. Interesting. > I'd like to use the HTMLEditor widget, which is part of the JavaFX > framework, but not running under the above mentioned configuration, as > openjfx does not compile against webkit (or parts of it). There are more > such artifacts, as for example MP3 player widget, which needs gstreamer. > Obviously, those dependencies are defined for the package, but not > included by the gradle build script for FreeBSD. This might be, because > of some maven repositories, as e.g. webview > (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/webkit/webview-deps/1.3/) having > no FreeBSD definition files. >From what I understand: If you have java code that needs to be compiled using maven, maven automagically fetches dependencies from the maven repos out there. The problem for a freebsd port is: during the build phase not 'fetch from extern' is allowed, so we need to explicitly name the distfiles to be fetched before, which breaks a lot of the maven assumptions and is a mess to maintain. > Are there any plans to include full openjfx support in the next FreeBSD > release or any integration for the upcoming OpenJDK9? > Maybe is there > already support in CURRENT? Is there any political reason not to include > those packages (license,..)? The problem is the build process in the ports framework. If someone would integrate the fetch-distfile process of maven in the ports framework, all those java codes build using maven would be become much more simpler to maintain.
