Java FX in Eclipse on Mac OSX 10.7

Since I had problems compiling JavaFX code from Eclipse on Mac OSX 10.7 using the java 1.7.0_04 development kit, I just want to share my intermediate solution with interested people:

Problem:

  • The jfxrt.jar and other .jar files are not recognized when you select the new jdk issued by oracle as the new jre / jdk in eclipse.

  • jdk is installed in / Library / Java / JavaVirtualMachines / 1.7.0.jdk, which is recognized as a package.

  • Adding the path / Library / Java / JavaVirtualMachines / 1.7.0.jdk / Contents / Home / jre / lib / jfxrt.jar is not possible later, since the eclipse file open dialog does not allow you to go inside the package

Solution: Create a symbolic link from outside the package inside the package and follow the link in the file open dialog box.

Just go to the terminal and do the following:

[0- / Library / Java / JavaVirtualMachines]: sudo ln -s 1.7.0.jdk / Contents / 1.7.0.jdk_Contents

This creates a symbolic link 1.7.0.jdk_Contents using superuser privileges (sudo).

This compilation and execution of JavaFx code is working fine and as expected.

No need to do all of the above, just use the completely unknown behavior of the Finder: Drag and Drop dialogs. You can open the Finder window from the console:

open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib

so yo will see jfxrt.jar and other .jar files. Drag these files into the Eclipse Add external jar ... et voila dialog box! Dependencies are satisfied! Link not required!
