javafx:compile doesnt exist

[mortensen]

Your documentation:
"mvn javafx:compile"

Console output:
Could not find goal 'compile' in plugin org.openjfx:javafx-maven-plugin:0.0.4 among available goals jlink, run -> [Help 1]

[JTMMartins]

same problem.

[mortensen]

I solved this by using jlink. But I guess if you aren't yet using jigsaw module system you need compile?

[betanzos]

mvn javafx:compile

Use mvn compile instead. The command javafx:compile was removed but documentation is outdated.

mvn clean javafx:jlink work fine.

[tiainen]

Yes, thanks for pointing this out. We'll update the docs to reflect the latest changes.

Tripped me up to...

[dwhitla]

mvn javafx:compile

Use mvn compile instead. The command javafx:compile was removed but documentation is outdated.

mvn clean javafx:jlink work fine.

This is broken too.

[betanzos]

Right, above I put it well

Use mvn compile instead.

and below I did not.

This is the right command

mvn clean compile javafx:jlink

Next version fix this behavior, so compile command may be omitted

[dwhitla]

This doesn't work either. JavaFXJLinkMojo.jlinkExecutable is not resolved against the current JRE. This results in errors like the following unless you hard code the path to jlink in your POM.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "jlink" (in directory "/Users/dwhitla/dev/code/samples/java/HelloJFX"): error=2, No such file or directory

Specifically JavaFXBaseMojo.getExecutablePath() does not perform as expected (the comment explains why) - the plugin jumps straight to looking for $JAVA_HOME instead of consulting the toolchain properties or the currently executing JRE ...

[betanzos]

I suggest you open another issue since this problem is not related (at first glance) with the project compilation.

[dwhitla]

Yes. I think it is related to #50 as it has the same root cause. But that issue isn't getting any love it seems.

[betanzos]

Yes. I think it is related to #50 as it has the same root cause.

It may be so. In any case, please share any configuration that you think is relevant.

But that issue isn't getting any love it seems.

I think so too. I am waiting for an answer to the question I asked about the desired behavior to try to fix it.

[dwhitla]

Yes. I think it is related to #50 as it has the same root cause.

For the simplest possible intro I created an empty JavaFX project from the javafx-archetype-simple maven archetype. I would expect following the tutorial verbatim to just work.

But that issue isn't getting any love it seems.

I think so too. I am waiting for an answer to the question I asked about the desired behavior to try to fix it.

Is there enough info in my last comment on that issue? If not I could look at fixing it myself.

This is the right command

mvn clean compile javafx:jlink

this works for me!
