JavaFX classes not found when analysing a Maven Project

[samir.ha...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a JavaFX Maven project. I'm trying to run sonar on it by using sonar-maven-plugin version 3.2. Sadly, I have a bunch or warnings saying javafx classes are not found.

Apparently, this seems to be the same issue as https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sonarqube/javafx|sort:relevance/sonarqube/jJjvFpycIrk/1cOBC8IEAwAJ .

So it seems that the issue was fixed in Gradle plugin, but not in the Maven one.

I forked the Maven plugin at https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-maven and I do not find any reference to javaFX libraries being loaded somewhere.

Any ideas?

For information here is what comes out of the log :

Hi Sam,

How do you make Maven aware of javafx libraries? Do you use a special plugin? Can you share a sample project?

Hi Julien,

Ok I have made some tests and here is my conclusion. If I have a simple project using JavaFX, nothing to worry.

But if I'm loading a JavaFX dependency and using it, then I having some mistake. You can take a look at this very simple project here : https://github.com/Maxoudela/sonarTest

Basically I'm loading a SpreadsheetView from ControlsFX project. If use Sonar on that project, I have some "class not found". But if I remove that dependency, everything is allright.

Thanks for the sample. This way of passing the classpath (using bootclasspath) is not supported.

Here is a ticket:

Hi Julien,

Thanks for the issue. I'll watch that. I must confess I'm not an expert in Maven so maybe the way I do it (or Netbeans do it) is not the "proper" way. Maybe there is a cleaner way to do that.

I'll try to dig a bit more about that.

Thanks,
Sam'
