JavaFX 2.0:: Native Package For Mac And Relative Path Dec 3, 2014. I done a small application with Javafx that start an Embedded Jetty. All works fine in Windows also with native package. Instead in Mac it works only before native packaging. Seems that the problem is how relative path are considered. The tree of the content is this: myfile.jar.

To be clear, YES — Java is still free.If you would like to download Java for free, you can get OpenJDK builds from the following vendors, among others:Some vendors will be supporting releases for longer than six months.

Previously, this is how we deploy legacy desktop application (, written in Swing and JavaFX) to clients..
Developed in Swing and JavaFX. Use NetBeans as IDE.
Use Java 8. Use Oracle JDK.
Use Launch4J to create EXE. Use NSIS to create installer, will help user automatically download JRE fromDue to the complex licensing requirement introduced by Oracle, we want to move away from Oracle, and go for Amazon Corretto or AdoptOpenJDK or Azul or whatever is free.We want to take this opportunity to migrate to Java 11. But, we notice that there are no JRE for Java 11.After some research, we though we might need 'Self-Contained Application Packaging' technology, to deploy our Desktop app solution to clients, if we were to use.

But, it is pretty brief, and we still don't know how we can apply 'Self-Contained Application Packaging' for our case?Do you come across any good tutorial resource, to deploy Java 11 desktop app?Thanks.
Yep, the whole thing is a bit of a mess. OpenJDK is now the reference implementation of the JDK. In fact, The Oracle JDK is the Oracle generated binary of Open JDK.However, Oracle is only producing binary releases of Oracle OpenJDK for a 6 month window after it's GA release. Once the GA for the next version is release, support for the previous Oracle OpenJDK is dropped.Oracle is still maintaining the code for the LTS releases (e.g. But, they are not producing binaries for those versions after the 6 month window.
You're not wrong, but I think you're being intentionally misleading.You are right! I should have mentioned that there are vendors that are offering builds of OpenJDK past 6 months.I wasn't trying to mislead. I was trying to be concise.
Because of the whole new licensing situation I was being very careful with nomenclature. The state of the Oracle (Open) JDK is confusing to someone who hasn't done the research on it. It's specifically why I called out the Oracle OpenJDK and not just OpenJDK.So, sure Oracle isn't supporting LTS builds after six months, but there are plenty of other companies doing so in their absence.That is absolutely true. However, each of the 'flavors' of OpenJDK comes with their own caveats which requires analysis when considering using them. (I'm very open to corrections about any of my info.
Please feel free to do so). Oracle Open JDK: Reference implementation, but no builds for LTS releases after 6 months after GA. AdoptOpenJDK: This looks promising, but the JDK 11 builds are not TCK/JCK certified nor do they have a JDK patent agreement.
Azul Zulu: Great LTS build release lifespan, but trying to determine what is free vs what is covered under their enterprise license is very confusing. Additionally, they state the that there's no guarantees of how long they'll produce builds of Zulu Community. (I actually have a 'sales' call with them next week to try and wrap my head around what's free and what's commercial). Redhat OpenJDK: Great LTS support, but requires a RHEL commercial subscription to get LTS builds past 6 months. Amazon Corretto: Truly free LTS! But, Amazon Linux centric and official docker images are Amazon Linux based only. IBM: Requires commercial license.Trying to figure out which OpenJDK distro met our needs was non-trivial.
Ultimately, we decided on Corretto because of the JCK certification, promised support / distribution lifespan, and permissive open source license. I'm also really curious about Azul but need some clarification there.
I landed on AdoptOpenJdk because after 4 months of trying to find a solution to the new licensing terms it was the only build that was 'plug and play' with our current infrastructure.I didnt want to switch linux distros, and I didn't really care about certification. I just swapped the Java binary in staging to make sure the servlets were functional, ran a battery of tests over 2 months and flipped production onto AOJDK without a hitch. The only issue was some weird serialization bugs with mariadb that I was able to fix in a few hours. Everything else was totally painless.Edit:Also, to be clear, we had been planning to jump from JDK 8 to JDK 11 for the better part of a year when the migration to AOJDK started.
What is new in JavaFX?JavaFX 2 is the next step in the evolution of Java as a rich client platform. Why should I choose JavaFX to develop applications?JavaFX has been designed to address the needs of modern enterprise client applications. Some of the benefits of using JavaFX are:. Leverage your Java development skills: JavaFX applications are completely developed in the Java programming language, one of the most widely adopted technologies to develop and deploy software applications, which leverages standards-based programming practices and design patterns. Zero to Sixty in no time: A dedicated focus on simplified API design makes developing complex user interfaces in the Java programming language extremely easy. In addition, JavaFX allows developing user interfaces in FXML—a scriptable, XML-based markup language for defining user interfaces. Developers familiar with web technologies or other markup based UI technologies will find FXML easy to learn and powerful for a variety of applications.
Create without boundaries: JavaFX provides a rich set of graphics and media APIs with high-performance hardware-accelerated graphics and media engines to simplify development of immersive visual applications. Preserve investment in Java: JavaFX developers can preserve existing investments by reusing Java libraries in their JavaFX applications. They can even access native system capabilities via the Java native interface, or seamlessly connect to server-based Java EE middleware applications. Familiar Java development tools: Developers can use their favorite Java development tools, such as the NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs, for development of JavaFX applications. All the standard IDE features, including syntax highlighting, auto-completion, interactive step-through debugging, and profiling are available for JavaFX developers.
In addition, JavaFX Scene Builder offers an intuitive visual layout environment. Deploy on the desktop or in the browser: JavaFX applications can be deployed either as desktop applications or in browser applets with the help of the Java browser plugin. The improved Java browser plugin provides JavaFX applications a secure way to run inside a browser.
When deployed on the desktop, JavaFX applications get the benefits of better performance and native operative system integration. Does JavaFX provide support for audio and video codecs?JavaFX provides a common set of APIs that make it easy to include media playback within any JavaFX application. The media formats currently supported are the following:. Audio: MP3; AIFF containing uncompressed PCM; WAV containing uncompressed PCM; MPEG-4 multimedia container with Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio. Video: FLV containing VP6 video and MP3 audio; MPEG-4 multimedia container with H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) video compression.

How do I submit a JIRA issue?If you believe you've found a defect in JavaFX and would like to submit a bug report, or if you would like to suggest a new feature or feature enhancement to the platform, you can do so by visiting and creating a JIRA account at. Once you have logged in, select 'Issues', then 'Create Issue' from the top navigation bar on the page. Next, select the 'Runtime' project, and select whether you are submitting a bug or a feature request. Follow the instructions on the page to give us as much information as you can. If we need anything else from you we will contact you for more details, but the more you can tell us ahead of time, the better!
