Centos 7 - where is jfx library for openjdk8?

Question

I have centos 7.1. And I installed openjdk8 and openjdk-devel8. However, when I tried to compile in netbeans my jfx application I get package javafx.* does not exist. After some investigation I see that there is no jfxrt.jar in jdk. Besides

[root@localhost ext]# yum provides jfxrt.jar

So my question - how to add jfx library to openjdk 8 on centos 7?

Answer 1

OpenJDK 8 for CentOS doesn't have JavaFX included by default...
You can do one of the following:

Switch to Oracle JDK:
1. remove all open jdks & jre's until when you type "java" in a shell it doesn't recognize 2. download from oracle the .rpm and install it via yum localinstall

or

Manually copy the JavaFX jars from another computer that has them
I never tested this myself, but some people mentioned it might work

or

Make a custom build of OpenJDK and include JavaFX

Hoping this was helpful...

Answer 2

download jdk-8u91-linux-x64.tar.gz archive of oracle jdk from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html, unpack and set PATH and JAVA_HOME to it. Just keep in mind that you have to watch security updates on your own.
