JavaFXPorts with Eclipse
Some weeks ago, Gluon released the first version of their Eclipse plugin for creating/building mobile applications with Java(FX).
We had some experience with their NetBeans plugin but our preferred IDE was Eclipse. So, an Eclipse plugin was good for us 
The NetBeans version worked without bigger problems and we expected the same quality for the Eclipse plugin.
We followed the official installation instructions and didn't have any problem. But the problems started after we tried to create Android or iOS specific code. It wasn't possible to access javafxports, android or robovm classes, because the jar files weren't found. The classpath with NetBeans had references to all libraries, but the Eclipse project didn't have such references.
We tried to find some information in the documentation and found the NFC example application. The build file had additional dependencies for android and javafxports. We changed the build file of our Eclipse project:
compile files("C:/tools/android/android-sdk_r04-windows/platforms/android-21/android.jar")
compile "org.javafxports:jfxdvk:8u60-b3"
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
runtime fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
and after some Gradle/Refresh Dependencies, Refresh All clicks, all Errors were fixed!
It was horrible, because after clicking Refresh Dependencies, nothing happened and after some more clicks, all errors were gone. Not sure if this was a Gradle project problem, or Gluon plugin problem.
Our full build script (without robovm):
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.0.1'
}
}
apply plugin: 'org.javafxports.jfxmobile'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile files("C:/tools/android/android-sdk_r04-windows/platforms/android-21/android.jar")
compile "org.javafxports:jfxdvk:8u60-b3"
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
runtime fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
mainClassName = 'com.sibvisions.mobilefx.android.DemoERPApplication'
jfxmobile {
ios {
forceLinkClasses = [ 'com.sibvisions.mobilefx.ios.**.*' ]
}
android {
androidSdk = 'C:/tools/android/android-sdk_r04-windows'
compileSdkVersion = 21
}
}
