OpenJFX Monocle

Monocle is the implementation of the Glass windowing component of JavaFX for embedded systems [1]. It is part of the Java Platform since version 8u20 (released in August 2014), but not included in builds for desktop platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) [2].

This repository provides pre-packaged builds of Monocle taken from the OpenJFX project. The builds include components to run in headless environments. They do not include native libraries for low-level access.

Manual Update

To update the build to newer versions of Monocle just copy source code files from src/main/java/com/sun/glass/ui/monocle into the directory src/main/java and resource files from src/main/resources/com/sun/glass/ui/monocle into the directory src/main/resources. Use the links bz2, zip or gz to export the files as archive.

You can update to a certain version by changing tip in the URLs to a changeset hash. There is a list of changeset hashes at openjfx/8u-dev/rt/tags.
