JDK Installation

Ubuntu

...

OpenJDK

Use apt to install openjdk-817-jdk, openjdk-817-doc, openjdk-817-source.

JavaFX on 16.04 xenial

Install openjfx, libopenjfx-java-doc, and openjfx-source.

JavaFX on 18.04 bionic

Unfortunately, on Ubuntu 18.04, the openjfx package has been upgraded to version 11. To install version 8, run:

# apt install libopenjfx-java=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-java-doc=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-jni=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 openjfx=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 openjfx-source=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2


If you have setup the pinned versions as below, you can test it with:

# apt install libopenjfx-java libopenjfx-java-doc libopenjfx-jni openjfx openjfx-source


Note that the JavaFX update version (8u161) does not need to perfectly match the JDK version.

You may need to purge your existing OpenJFX installation:

# apt purge openjfx*
# apt purge libopenjfx*

You may have some luck telling apt to pin the version:

Package: libopenjfx-java
Pin: version 8u*
Pin-Priority: 550

Package: libopenjfx-java-doc
Pin: version 8u*
Pin-Priority: 550

Package: libopenjfx-jni
Pin: version 8u*
Pin-Priority: 550

Package: openjfx
Pin: version 8u*
Pin-Priority: 550

Package: openjfx-source
Pin: version 8u*
Pin-Priority: 550

Note: JDKs are also available from https://adoptopenjdk.net/, but they won't provide JavaFX, which breaks most of IHMC's robotics software.
