Building the 3.12.x branche fails

[JoeFox82]

Hi there,

I'm trying to build the version 3.12 of Mirth Connect. I'm using the the AdoptOpenJDK 8 Update 292 togehter with Eclipse and Ant 1.10.12. When building project with the build.bat, it fails with a wrong version error at the openjfx JAR.

compile:
[mkdir] Created dir: D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\client\classes
[javac] Compiling 519 source files to D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\client\classes
[javac] D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\client\src\com\mirth\connect\client\ui\Frame.java:54: error: cannot access Platform
[javac] import javafx.application.Platform;
[javac] ^
[javac] bad class file: D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\client\lib\openjfx.jar(javafx/application/Platform.class)
[javac] class file has wrong version 54.0, should be 52.0
[javac] Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.

BUILD FAILED
D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\server\mirth-build.xml:55: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\connect.git\branches\3.12.x\client\ant-build.xml:75: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

I tried using Java 10 and 11 too but then I got other problems because some code of the sql part is deprecated and will not be found in Java 10 and 11.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Got it working! You have to use an openJDK that includes FX like Azul, so that you do not need the openjfx.jar file in the lib folder.
