So I had a little time to spent on JFXtras of late, and decided
to throw some things around:
- Finished moving to Maven, I gave up fighting Gradle.
- Ported the whole development to Ubuntu, because Windows
requires a license. Test still are doubtful if they will run
correctly on all Ubuntu environments. Curious about that though.
ResponsivePaneTest is having quirks.
- Move the test-support module to the test scope. This was a big
problem and a choice had to be made between four bad options:
keep test-support in runtime, illegally include modules which
are not really on the module path, NullPointerExceptions when
loading resources during tests, unable to compile at all. I
chose the second for now.
- Removed branches for 14 and 15. Having to cherry-pick all
changes to all those branches (16 would be added now) is a lot
of senseless work. From now all development is done on the 11
branch and only checked on Java 12+.
- That would leave the 14 and 15 releases hanging dry in Maven
central, so I'll be releasing those in sync with the 11 releases
until Java 17 becomes the next LTS. Then only 17 releases will
be made, until the next LTS. Unless there is a good reason to
upgrade.
- Also jfxtras-labs is moved to Maven. There the tests issue is
not resolved, so a number of test are ignored. JPMS and testing
really sucks.
Maybe now I can finally start doing some JFX coding again. :-)
Regards, Tom
PS: there are some issues open on both projects that could use
some TLC.
PS2: I've also released a new version of MigLayout for JavaFX
basing on Java 11.
