JavaFX11 incompatible fxconnector version in jar from scenicview-linux.zip

[wirew0rm]

I'm trying to run the jar from the package linked in the README.md using javafx-sdk-12.0.1 and openjdk 11.0.4 2019-07-16 LTS but it is stuck on the "scanning for javaFX applications" screen and spamming NoSuchMethodError Exceptions in the background. It seems like this is allready fixed in 59264def:

https://github.com/JonathanGiles/scenic-view/blob/master/src/main/java/org/fxconnector/remote/RuntimeAttach.java#L138

It seems like the wrong org.fxconnector component was bundled into the release jar.

This is the error message I get when running scenic-view:

# /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java --module-path javafx-sdk-12.0.1/lib/ --add-modules javafx.web,javafx.fxml,javafx.swing -jar scenicview/lib/scenicview.jar

I did run into the same issue. But it turns out my issue was actually due to my javafx app not having the javafx.swing module Once I did add that, the official linux scenicView started to show the tree. More concretely (and specific to my debug setup), I did append ,javafx.swing in the --add-modules launch option

--add-modules javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.web,javafx.swing
