FXML to Java Code [message #1695147]

I am developing a javafx android app using javafxports and trying to prevent loading of FXML documents for startup-performance reasons. I read an older blog entry "Convert FXML to Java as part of the build" by Tom using "org.eclipse.fx.core.fxml.ExtendedFXMLLoader" - but the link for the sample application is broken.
Is the ExtendedFXMLLoader and the FXML Compiler still part of e(fx)clips tooling and would it be a good choice for using it in this case?

Hi,

Yes our FXML => Java converter is still available. You should be able to
grab the latest release from
http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/compiler-released/1.2.0/org.eclipse.fx.fxml.compiler_1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Running it from the command line looks like this:

java -cp=${classpath-of-your-project} -jar
org.eclipse.fx.fxml.compiler_1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
..../src/my/package/my.fxml .../src

We also have ant support built into the jar but could not find the
sample anymore.

Thanks Tom,
good to hear that the fxml-compiler is available.
Running org.eclipse.fx.fxml.compiler_1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar complains of "no main manifest attribute" and checking the MANIFEST.MF shows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.4
Created-By: 1.8.0-b132 (Oracle Corporation)

Could not find out main class by myself.
Btw, how feature-complete is the compiler? Can I throw about every fxml file on it and it will work or are there exceptions.
If it is working well, I actually would like to include it into the javafxport gradle plugin to enhance mobile builds.

Hey Tom

am I missing something, or is the fxml compiler part not included in the 1.2.0 SNAPSHOT?
There is no packagee org.eclipse.fx.* in your JAR...

Cheers
Joachim

When using the compiler in version 1.1.0 I do always get a NPE in FXMLSaxHandler.startElement(FXMLSaxHandler.java:339)
I believe that this is related to using custom components, are those one not supported?

Cheers
Joachim
