jfxrt.jar not in JDK 1.8?

java, javafx, linux

Solution

For me on OSX it's under `jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar`. I'd guess it's in an analogous place on your machine. Try `/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_05/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar`

Problem

I just updated my JDK to the JDK 1.8 because i couldnt find the jfxrt.jar needed by java FX in the 1.7 version. I downloaded the JDK from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html Specifically the version: jdk-8u5-linux-i586.rpm I use opensuse 13.1 by the way. Now after the installation my usr/java/jdk1.9_05/lib still does not contain the jfxrt.jar. Has anybody an idea why, I read that this version should actually contain it. Can I fix this problem putting the jar in ther manually?
