So using Oracle Java 8 is currently the best solution to your issue. This means that JavaFX classes will automatically be found both by the compiler during the build and by the runtime when your users use your application. With Oracle Java 8, JavaFX is both included in the JDK and is on the default classpath. I don't run Debian, so I'm not sure where the Debian OpenJFX package installs jfxrt.jar.
#UBUNTU OPENJDK 7 INSTALL#
To install this package it is necessary to install both the Debian OpenJDK 8 package and the Debian OpenJFX package. Jfxrt.jar is not in the Linux OpenJDK 7 (which is what you are using).Īn open source package which provides JavaFX 8 for Debian based systems such as Ubuntu is available. The will depend on where you installed the Oracle Java and may differ between Linux distributions and installations. The location of jfxrt.jar in Oracle Java 7 is:
JavaFX has been partitioned into a set of dependencies rather than a monolithic jfxrt.jar library distributed with the Java runtime (as was previously the case with Oracle Java 8 for instance). JavaFX is now available from openjfx.io or the public Maven repository as an SDK or a library set, or a module set.
#UBUNTU OPENJDK 7 UPDATE#
This update provides info for more recent versions. ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.The previous information in this answer is now obsolete for later versions of Java and JavaFX (e.g. For 64-bit systems, replace ‘ i386’ with ‘ amd64’. mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins/įinally, create a symbolic link to your Mozilla plugins folder. Then create a Mozilla plugins folder in your home directory. Sudo update-alternatives -install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javac" 1 sudo update-alternatives -install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javaws" 1 Sudo update-alternatives -install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java" 1
Next, copy and paste each command as shown below one-at-a-time to enable Java JDK. Then move all the JDK files and folders to the new location by running the commands below. Next, create a folder for Java JDK files and folders by running the commands below. This assumes that the package was downloaded in your Downloads folder. When prompted with the screen below, choose to save the file.Īfter saving, extract the downloaded package by running the commands below. To get started, download Java JDK package from here.
#UBUNTU OPENJDK 7 HOW TO#
There are some blogs that will show you how to install it via PPA, which is much easier, but then most PPA sources are not reliable. In today’s post, I’m going to show you how to install Oracle Java (JDK) 7 in Ubuntu as well. Last week we showed you how to install Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Ubuntu 12.04.
