Let me download JDK9 and have a look, hang on

ok

How did you manage to make JDK9 work at all? I keep getting

e: Module javafx.controls cannot be found in the module graph

😞

@Czar You need the

javafx.controls

module 🙂

do I 😄

@abhinay Sorry, got a phone call. Back now, downloading

module com.example {
	requires kotlin.stdlib;
	requires kotlin.stdlib.jdk8;
	requires spring.core;
	requires spring.boot.autoconfigure;
	requires spring.boot;
	requires spring.context;
	requires javafx.controls;
	requires tornadofx;

	opens com.example to spring.core;

	exports com.example;
}

this is what I have

@Czar I used the new javafx maven jars 🙂

Huh.. Installed JDK10 and it asks me if I want to "enable java content in the browser". Isn't applets long dead? What does that mean these days, just Web Start perhaps?

Web Start is also deprecated AFAIK

Yeah, I thought so.

Wonder what it is

@abhinay I can't figure it out. Whatever I do it complains about the clash. In the JDK9 branch I think I ran into that issue, so I extended TableRowSkinBase instead

My wild guess is that the child complains because the method exists in both

TableRowSkinBase

and

TableRowSkin

.

This is some weird issue in Kotlin 😄

I'll look at the generated byte code

My head hurts 😁

Sorry for all the trouble 🙂

@edvin webstart has been dead in the browser too for a while

@carlw we still have https://demos.jpro.one

right but that's not webstart is it?

definitely not, it was more to the fact that there is still things happening with java in the browser 🙂

@carlw So I wonder what they mean by "enable java content in the browser" now?

i think applets and jws are going away only with java 11?

@mikehearn Aha! That's probably it then.

anyway, all the more impetus to get back to graviton.... i see so much demand in the javafx community for a way to distribute apps with updates in a platform neutral way

applets and jws were killed by the browsers. 11 will pull out javaws entirely from the distro

@mikehearn I wish I had time to contribute. I believe Graviton is the right approach

don't worry, you're doing God's Work with tornadofx 🙂

together against all the odds, we will bring desktop development back from the grave, haha
