Java 9.0.4
Eclipse 4.7.2
e(fx)clipse 3.0.0.201705220750
Building a swing app
target is a windows EXE

build.xml doesn't work.

Problem #1)
<file name="${java.home}\..\lib\ant-javafx.jar"/>
should be for java 9 (at least - dunno java 8)
<file name="${java.home}\lib\ant-javafx.jar"/>

Problem #2)
basedir is not a supported property of fx:platform

Problem #3)
After fixing problems #1 and #2 in the build, it still doesn't work, claiming it cannot find any modules.

Still working #3

Ideas?

Upgraded to e(fx)clipse 3.1.0 , which should be more obviously available.
No change, so I guess it doesn't matter.

As for problem #3, using jmod to build modules from my code, and adding them to the build seems to work. Would be nice to have an ant task for jmod, but I can build that myself.

But, after that, Inno Setup exits code 2.
Wix gets a bit further, but now fussing with license files and desktop shortcuts not working.

Not sure if any of this stuff is supposed to work anyway. Really, really, not ready for prime time.
