GroovyFX TableView not working with Java8/JavaFX8

[madmas]

Creating a table view on a view with groovyFx does not work as the following exception is thrown:

After trying to verify this, it turns out that rebuilding groovyfx with the last Java 8 release (update 60) is sufficient to solve this.
So it seems like a release, rebuild based on a recent version of Java, is required ;-)

Hi, I'm having a similar problem, when I try to turn a tableColumn editable like this,

tableColumn(text: "Value", property: "value", editable: true)

I get the following exception, with a very generic stack trace:

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/javafx/accessible/providers/AccessibleProvider
at org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedMethod.invoke(CachedMethod.java:97)
at groovy.lang.MetaMethod.doMethodInvoke(MetaMethod.java:233)

at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper.invokeClosure(InvokerHelper.java:95)
at groovyx.javafx.GroovyFX.start(GroovyFX.java:35)
...

I can workaround this by adding the following Maven dependency to my project:

<dependency>
   <groupId>net.java.openjfx.backport</groupId>
   <artifactId>openjfx-78-backport</artifactId>
   <version>1.8.0-ea-b96.1</version>
</dependency>

Is this the correct approach or is there a new version of GroovyFX that doesn't use the AccessibleProvider interface at all?

My current development environment is:

• Eclipse Mars 4.5.0
• JDK 1.8_66
• Groovy compiler 2.3.10
• Maven project with dependency to GroovyFX 0.4.0

I apologize for asking user's questions on the developer section, but as Codehaus was closed I still don't know where your discussion lists are.

Many thanks.

As I recall, the correction for this is in the checked in code, but there
is not yet a distribution for this. I think what I needed to do to fix this
was to clone the repository, build it myself, and then do a maven install
to my local. That did resolve the issue though.

I did that, compiled locally and now it's working. Thanks.
