Migrate to Java Module System #85
Comments
The biggest hurdle is simply building for macOS and not having a machine, and virtual machine emulation with JavaFX don't mix either. When jlink is mainstream, I think it's viable and best. I've seen too many users that struggle to handle a basic Java installation and this would solve it. |
I'm hoping we can get a macOS build using CI. I've never done this before (all my CI builds have been Linux, Android or cross-platform JAR files)
I had good luck running JavaFX apps on Ubuntu in VirtualBox on macOS. I even was able to do QR code reading using the MacBook Pro webcam.
I agree. And I think that time is just about here. @siordache, the author of the Badass JLink/Runtime plugins has been very responsive and I've had good luck with his JLink plugin. It looks like I"m going to have to open a few issues with the Runtime plugin, but they are issues that he has already fixed for the JLink one.
I agree. This has been true of Java desktop apps for 20 years. It looks like it is finally being solved! |
So, to be clear this issue is about migrating to JPMS modules and is (mostly) a separate decision from using If you are willing to work on a JPMS migration in the near future, we should use the Badass JLink plugin instead. |
Have you considered doing this? Will you consider it? I might be willing to help.
