Building Java FX 2 Libraries From Source With Maven 3 📎

  1. Get the sources: hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master/rt. For subsequent updates use: hg pull -u
  2. Create a JavaFX profile with a pointer to the javafx 2.2. SDK. Hence not all sources are open yet, this is a necessary step: 
    
<profile>
	<id>javafx</id>
<activation>
	<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
	<fx.home>[PATH TO JAVAFX INSTALLATION]/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/</fx.home>
</properties>
</profile>
  3. Execute: mvn -Pjavafx clean install
  4. You should see the following output: 

    
[INFO] javafx ............................................ SUCCESS [0.740s]
[INFO] test-stub-toolkit ................................. SUCCESS [2.676s]
[INFO] javafx-beans-dt ................................... SUCCESS [1.080s]

  5. Pick your own fx-runtime library from: javafx-ueber-jar/target/jfxrt.jar
  6. Run tests, file bugs: Java FX Jira :-)
