Fail to build IDE 1.8.8

Hi,
I fail to build the IDE 1.8.8.
I run Debian sid / GNU Linux.
I get the following:

Hi @JeanLucCoulon ,
the dependency on javafx has been introduced by #8156 , which was targeting OSX only. As a side effect, since Java compiles all files for all OSes, it made Oracle JDK compulsory for all builds.
I'd love to get rid of this limitation and restore the ability to compile the IDE using OpenJDK.

@sandeepmistry are you aware of any other library for touch bar that doesn't require javafx?

@facchinm unfortunately JTouchBar was the only Java TouchBar library I could find.

sudo apt-get install openjfx fixed it for me!

[JeanLucCoulon]

I've openjfx, openjfx-source, liboenjfx-java and libopenjfx-ini installed.
Version on debian sid is 11+26-5

And I've the error reported here.

BTW, I've miss-clicked the "close & comment" button and I dont know how to reopen

Is it a build or runtime dependency?

[JeanLucCoulon]

I failed to build it... So I've no idea about runtime.

[matthijskooijman]

I was running into the same error, installing the openjfx package fixed the build for me.

Debian stable
javac 1.8.0_151
openjdk-8-jdk version 8u151-b12-1~deb9u1.

The OP is using Debian stable, maybe something changed there? Or maybe he's using a different (custom) version of java that is not finding the javafx packages installed through apt?
