Re: [equinox-dev] Simpler JavaFX class loading

Hi,

a) Simply providing a fragment
No. The problem is that JavaFX is on the ExtensionClasspath which is
skipped by default on Equinox - maybe this changes with Luna?

On Kepler there was an invalid OSGi-Switch who made this possible!
Search the forum on a discussion how this could work.

b) SWT-FX integration
This would still have to be done using the hook because the
swt-embedding is not on the classpath

c) putting in the JavaSE1.8 profile sounds wrong - this is not JSRed API
so if I'd ship an extra profile JavaSE-FX-1.8 which holds the packages.
Another problem with this is that - believe me - many people have to
access internal API so if you only export the public one you'll make
many people not happy.

I’m just wondering if there are easier approaches we could be following, something we can put in the JavaSE-1.8.profile file or somewhere else so that we can make this a more data driven approach. It’s a pain to have to set the osgi.framework.extensions property for every product we want to build with JavaFX support. I’m aware that not every 1.8 VM will have JavaFX in it, but for those that do, I’d love to see this support enabled automagicly. Any thoughts?
