Monocle support for JavaFX 13

[samhutchins]

Would it be possible to get a build of Monocle up from JDK 13? I'd like to use JavaFX 13, but I don't think I can run it against an older version of Monocle.

As an aside:

The readme suggests that the version of Monocle you use is tied to the version of Java you're using, but I don't think that's the case. Running JavaFX 13 on Java 11 is supported, but Monocle from OpenJDK 11 is missing methods required by JavaFX 13 (com.sun.prims.Graphics.setPerspectiveTransform(), for example). I think the readme should be updated to indicate that you want the version of Monocle and the version of JavaFX you're using to be in sync.

There were some methods in Monocle which were changed in OpenJFX 12. Therefore the openjfx-monocle-jdk-11.x releases cannot be used with OpenJFX 12. However, I did not face any trouble running openjfx-monocle-jdk-12.x release against OpenJFX 13.

Just tested openjfx-monocle-jdk-12.0.1+2 with OpenJFX 14 and this also works.

I'd like to add that although monacle-jdk-12.0.1+2 works with Windows and MacOS < Catalina with OpenJFX on MacOS > Catalina the following issue occurs with Monocle. It appears it has been fixed in newer versions of OpenJDK so Monocle just needs to be rebuilt and then everything should function.

I have not tested to see if it has been back ported to OpenJDK 12 yet though.

Just tested openjfx-monocle-jdk-12.0.1+2 with OpenJFX 14 and this also works.

Hi,
Did you just modify the pom file to point to JavaFX 14?
Thanks

I am using Kotlin with the javafx-gradle-plugin: https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-gradle-plugin
There you can easily specify the JavaFX version and modules you want to use.

@belu org.testfx:openjfx-monocle:jdk-12.0.1+2 does not work for me using Java 14 + JavaFX 14, also using the javafx-gradle-plugin:

plugins {
    ...
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin'
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    testCompile 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter'
    testRuntime 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine'
    testCompile 'org.testfx:testfx-junit5:4.0.16-alpha'

    testCompile 'org.testfx:openjfx-monocle:jdk-12.0.1+2'
}

javafx {
    version = "14"
    modules = ['javafx.controls', 'javafx.swing', 'javafx.fxml']
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform {
        if (! project.hasProperty("noHeadless")) {
            jvmArgs += "-Dheadless=true"
        }
    }
}

How did you do it please? Thanks

I am not using Java 14 but Kotlin (with Java 11 as JVM target). Here is my build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'application'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.3.61'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.9'
}

group 'com.melonbase'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib"
    testCompile "org.testfx:testfx-core:4.0.16-alpha"
    testCompile "org.testfx:testfx-junit5:4.0.16-alpha"
    testCompile 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.5.1'
    testCompile group: 'org.hamcrest', name: 'hamcrest', version: '2.1'
    testCompile "org.testfx:openjfx-monocle:jdk-12.0.1+2"
}

javafx {
    version = "14"
    modules = ['javafx.controls']
}

application {
    mainClassName = "com.melonbase.AppMain"
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

compileKotlin {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "11"
}
compileTestKotlin {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "11"
}

We probably won't support JFX 13, but new builds for JFX 11 and 17 are new available: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.testfx/openjfx-monocle/versions
