Java 11 is not supported at runtime

[s17t]

Java 11 moved JavaFX libraries out from the base JDK/JRE. JavaFX must be (re)packaged by applications, thus the 0.11 version of markdown-writer-fx can't be executed on java 11. On Linux I get:

./bin/markdown-writer-fx     
Error: Could not find or load main class org.markdownwriterfx.MarkdownWriterFXApp
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

JavaFX is available on maven central with org.openjfx groupId [0]

openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.1+13-Ubuntu-2ubuntu1)

Yes, this is a known issue.

MWFX 0.11 requires Java 8.

Even Java 9 will not work because ControlsFX 9.0.0 is required for Java 9, but MWFX 0.11 ships with ControlsFX 8.40.14.

I plan to distribute one of the next releases of MWFX with bundled Java 11 JRE and bundled JavaFX 11. For now, I've updated the readme and the release notes to clarify the current Java requirements.

Well, after some head scratching with master branch I come up with this:

• Add javafx-media dependency:

compile( "org.openjfx:javafx-media:${javafxVersion}:${platform}" )

• Compile and create a dist with ./gradlew distZip
• Add the following module add-opens in the markdown-writer-fx. These can be migrated in the JAR's manifest adapting the syntax. Probably it is not the right way to work around the module system but it works.

Create a class like this:

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Application.launch(MarkdownWriterFXApp.class);
	}

}

then run Main.main
