  • u
    wxwidgets are already cool °°
  • b
  • b
    😄
  • a
    doesnt work on the java/jvm targets tho
  • a
    OH!
  • u
    hxcpp target seems fine after first compilation :P
  • u
    But yeah if you're after portability it's no match to jvm x)
  • a
    yknow, id probably have gone with swing, allthough its a bit older its got way better runtime compatibility. like javafx doesnt even work on openjdk 8
  • a
    id probably only use the jvm/java targets if ive got some java dependencies.
  • b
    tbf i wasnt going with either... and im still probably going to do nothing with it
  • a
    i played with jfx once, but then decided against it in favor of swing just because how hard it was to get it running. i just had to use oracle jdk, which i really dont like because thats the only one with jfx compat afaik
  • b
    i might restart it, at a later date, but at this point there are too many backends to juggle... and "native" ones are the ones that require the most effort
  • a
    yeah of course
  • u
    Did you try my wxwidgets sample @acceptable-smartphone-30669 ?
  • a
    nah. i did use haxeui with wxwidgets tho
  • b
    it does look like jfx works on openjdk, no? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18547362/javafx-and-openjdk
  • a
    not on openjdk 8 tho
  • a
    and everyone uses java 8
  • a
    iirc
  • b
    right fair enough
  • l
    For Java you ought to just bundle the JRE with your application anyway, since you can't know what the user has or even if they have Java installed at all.
  • b
    well, maybe if i do make a java backend again ill use swing... pretty sure i also have a half started swing backend lying around somewhere to make sure "i could"
  • b
    how big is the JRE now-a-days
  • b
    189 MB
  • b
    :/
  • u
    Probably less than electron x)
  • l
    Well if you run jlink to build a custom runtime you can make it pretty small.
  • b
    haha, likely 😄
  • l
    I develop a desktop Java application, and including all of the modules it needs, including some jdk modules so that it can be used for gradle/android development, it's only about 100 MB uncompressed.
  • l
    Presumably you wouldn't need all of that, and could make it smaller.
