org.eclipse.fx.javafx deprecation? [message #1716832]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to put together a simple e(fx)clipse RCP project. When I launch I get the following warning:

WARNING: You are binding against the deprecated org.eclipse.fx.javafx - please remove all javafx imports

This bundle is deprecated? Why? What exactly is the more up to date alternative for linking to javafx classes? I can find no information about this deprecation anywhere.

Anyone have any knowledge about this?

Thanks,

Eli

Hi Eli,

This changed with e(fx)clipse Version 2.0. I remember that there were some posts in the forum at the time, but right now I only found this:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1063826&goto=1688516&#msg_1688516

The recommended way to load JavaFX classes with 2.x is to tell equinox to use the extended classpath by launching with the vm argument:
-Dorg.osgi.framework.bundle.parent=ext

(The 1.x way to do it was "-Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.fx.osgi" because JavaFX 2 was not on the extended classpath.)

Accordingly, if you are using e(fx)clipse 2.x you should:
- remove org.eclipse.fx.javafx and org.eclipse.fx.osgi from your target
- remove package imports to javafx.*

Hope this helps!
Christoph

Thanks, this gave me enough help to figure it out. For anyone else using bnd/bndtools like me, it seems the way to do this is something like:

-runsystempackages:\
javafx.application,\
javafx.event,\
javafx.animation,\
javafx.scene,\
javafx.scene.text,\
javafx.scene.layout,\
javafx.scene.image,\
[etc...]

I'm still having some unrelated troubles getting it running, but I've at least confirmed that the packages are available on the classpath for bundles which try to import them now Smile

.

Thanks!

Oh fantastic, I didn't realise there was an r5 mirror, I see it now. I'd just been republishing it myself. Thanks for the tip off, that'll make things much easier to maintain.

Anyway, it's all nice and working now Smile

Bndtools was terrible for old Eclipse dev, but I think it should be very solid for e4 stuff once this sort of initial hassle is out of the way. Thanks again for the help, guys.
