Because at this point, I don't think we can get JDK 11 for free anymore
c
There are absolutely free distributions of JDK 11. Getting it is easy, but depends on which OS you have.
a
So I have a Mac OS, and when I try to download jdk11 from the Oracle site, they require me to create an account with my work information
c
Sure, don't do that 🙂 don't get it from Oracle 🙂 Let me find the link.
For MacOS I suggest getting JDK from here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html
a
Thanks yeah
c
Note, this is completely legal and you're not violating Oracle's license or anything.
When I was playing with TFX I was using JDK 11, I don't remember having any serious problems
a
That's the thing - I have JDK 11 right now
c
Is JDK 11 support merged to tfx master already? At that time it was in a branch
a
But I was trying to replicate the steps from before when only JDK 11 for folks that need to migrate
No, I'm afraid not. I believe it exists as a snapshot right now. Edvin is working on it
c
Ah, ok.
Yeah, migrating to each and every new Java release is not a thing I would expect from TFX, unless it finds more contributors. JDK 11 is LTS release, so as long as it works, and then the next LTS is supported when it lands, reasonable number of users should be happy 🙂
Well, I did it out of choice 🙂 Years ago
s
Yeah, install openjdk using homebrew and you're done, no special email to do
a
@Czar @amanda.hinchman-dominguez JFX 11 support is still on the branch 
jdk10
. Edvin was trying to push a RC release to maven Central and it failed because of an issue in Javadoc. The issue is related to https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/294
a
I'll take a look tomorrow morning and see if I can take a stab at it!
