Re: How to access JavaFx class library from Kawa?

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

Hi Chaw,

thx!

Now tried this:
   set CLASSPATH=E:\Programs\openjdk\lib\*;E:\Programs\openjfx\lib\*;.\*
last one is for jars in current dir.

But it still fails because it cannot find javafx/geometry/Orientation.

In openjfx\lib I see:
javafx-swt.jar
javafx.base.jar
javafx.controls.jar
javafx.fxml.jar
javafx.graphics.jar
javafx.media.jar
javafx.properties
javafx.swing.jar
javafx.web.jar
src.zip

But no "geometry" or similar.
