What s the location of the JavaFX runtime JAR file jfxrt jar on Linux

Question

I m trying to run some JavaFX code with Eclipse Kepler  with e fx clipse plugin installed  on a Linux machine  using   java version  1 7 0 21  OpenJDK Runtime Environment  IcedTea 2 3 9   7u21-2 3 9-5  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM  build 23 7-b01  mixed mode    My understanding is that although JavaFX has been included with the standard JDK since version JDK 7u6  the JavaFX runtime JAR file  jfxrt jar  was left off of the Java runtime path on purpose until further testing between JavaFX and rest of the java infrastructure has been completed  For this reason you must manually add it to the project build path libraries when we create a new Java project   I ve been looking for that jar in both the following directories without success    usr lib jvm java-7-openjdk-common jre lib   usr lib jvm java-7-openjdk-amd64 lib   Where else should I look for it

On Ubuntu with OpenJDK  it installed in  usr lib jvm default-java jre lib ext jfxrt jar   technically its a symlink to  usr share java openjfx jre lib ext jfxrt jar  but it is probably better to use the default-java link

The location of jfxrt jar in Oracle Java 7 is    lt JRE HOME gt  lib jfxrt jar   The location of jfxrt jar in Oracle Java 8 is    lt JRE HOME gt  lib ext jfxrt jar   The  lt JRE HOME gt  will depend on where you installed the Oracle Java and may differ between Linux distributions and installations   jfxrt jar is not in the Linux OpenJDK 7  which is what you are using      An open source package which provides JavaFX 8 for Debian based systems such as Ubuntu is available   To install this package it is necessary to install both the Debian OpenJDK 8 package and the Debian OpenJFX package   I don t run Debian  so I m not sure where the Debian OpenJFX package installs jfxrt jar      Use Oracle Java 8     With Oracle Java 8  JavaFX is both included in the JDK and is on the default classpath   This means that JavaFX classes will automatically be found both by the compiler during the build and by the runtime when your users use your application   So using Oracle Java 8 is currently the best solution to your issue   OpenJDK for Java 8 could include JavaFX  as JavaFX for Java 8 is now open source   but it will depend on the OpenJDK package assemblers as to whether they choose to include JavaFX 8 with their distributions   I hope they do  as it should help remove the confusion you experienced in your question and it also provides a great deal more functionality in OpenJDK      My understanding is that although JavaFX has been included with the standard JDK since version JDK 7u6   Yes  but only the Oracle JDK     The JavaFX version bundled with Java 7 was not completely open source so it could not be included in the OpenJDK  which is what you are using    In you need to use Java 7 instead of Java 8  you could download the Oracle JDK for Java 7 and use that   Then JavaFX will be included with Java 7  Due to the way Oracle configured Java 7  JavaFX won t be on the classpath   If you use Java 7  you will need to add it to your classpath and use appropriate JavaFX packaging tools to allow your users to run your application   Some tools such as e fx clipse and NetBeans JavaFX project type will take care of classpath issues and packaging tasks for you
