Debian Package Dependencies

[markybob]

your debian package needs to have openjfx as a requirement. it currently does not and so the application (although it loads) fails to be able to do anything meaningful.

What about people the use Oracle JDK and don't want to be forced to install OpenJDK + OpenJFX?

Feel free to contribute a fix, but don't force people to use a specific runtime or dependencies that may or may not be available for their platform via the official repository.

PS: Dependencies have been removed years ago due to user requests. You need to make a good case if you want me to add them again.

not forcing anything on anyone. in "Depends" in debian/control you can can use "|" (no quotes) which means "OR". so that way they need to have one of those.

Here's the control file template:

Feel free to send me a patch:
* depends on any java-runtime (OpenJDK, OracleJDK, IBM, Azule, etc)
* depends on any java-fx-runtime (OpenJFX, etc) but only if java-fx is not provided by the java-runtime already (e.g. Oracle JDK, future Open JDK, etc) but don't depend on java-fx on headless machines where java-fx is not available
* must work on headless machines without a GUI where only java-runtime-headless is available (and where the full java-runtime and java-fx-runtime can't be installed due to missing dependencies)
