Generate OS X installer binary #100
Comments
The Gradle JavaFX plugin requires Oracle JDK 8u20 or better. Travis CI currently runs something older, and does not have a roadmap for upgrading. This commit experiments with what Travis support suggested as a workaround. See #100

@ManfredKarrer, FYI for your usability testing, etc.: you can build the OS X installer by switching to the |

@cbeams: I just tried to build it from the latest version (native branch) but got that error: Manfreds-iMac:bitsquare-native mk$ gradle build FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Oops. Sorry, I should have mentioned that JDK 8u20 or better is required for this part of the build to work. |
|
ah ok need to update, btw. could you add install instructions for java on linux. I remember that it was a bit tricky and some linux guys are not familiar with java... |

Yeah, funny enough, they're actually embedded in our Travis config (at least for the moment, until Travis updates their default JDK to 8u20 or better): https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/blob/native/.travis.yml#L5-L8
Of course that's just for Debian and its variants. Not sure what it looks like with RPM, Yum, etc. |

@cbeams: I updated java now but get that error: 23:05:17.459 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandling 23:05:17.426 [LIFECYCLE] [class org.gradle.TaskExecutionLogger] :jfxJar FAILED |

Make sure you run with ./gradlew. Your locally installed Gradle is probably too old. Should work as well.

Great now its working. I just din't see the popups first but that was an issue of the controlsfx lib, we need to update to version org.controlsfx:controlsfx:8.0.6_20 (to bew compatible with the latest java version). I have checked that in both master and native branch. |
The plugin's jfx* tasks tie into the normal Gradle build lifecycle, such that `gradle build` will now generate executables and installers according to the OS on which the build is being run. These files are output to the `build/distributions` directory. Installers work as expected OS X and Linux at this point. Windows installers do build, but a very particular configuration is necessary on the Windows machine doing the building (this configuration is to be documented in #109). However, even when the configuration is in place and the MSI installer is successfully built, there is still a fatal error at installer execution time relating to a missing msvp100.dll file. See details at https://bitbucket.org/shemnon/javafx-gradle/issue/43. An issue has been created to track this from the Bitsquare side as well--see #108. The changes made in this commit are based on on the samples at http://bitbucket.org/shemnon/javafx-gradle and the article at http://jaxenter.com/tutorial-a-guide-to-the-gradle-javafx-plugin-46270.html The gradle/javafx.gradle file is copied directly from the sources in the bitbucket repository above, as is apparently the convention (not sure why this isn't part of the plugin itself, but that's a question to be addressed later).
