Re: How to access JavaFx class library from Kawa?

[Arie van Wingerden <xapwing@gmail.com>]

With a bit of trial and error I got it to work.

Now, when I start a command prompt for Kawa, I initially set an environment
variable:
set KAWA_USERPATH =
E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.base.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.controls.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.fxml.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.graphics.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.media.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.swing.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx.web.jar;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\javafx-swt.jar

Also I slightly modified kawa.bat and add my path to KAWA-EXTRA-PATH:
   set KAWA_EXTRA_PATH =
"%KAWA_HOME%\lib\jline.jar;%KAWA_HOME%\lib\domterm.jar;%KAWA_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar;"%KAWA_USERPATH%

In this way it works!

Please tell me if there is a more elegant way to do this ...

Thx!
