Hi everyone.

At first I would like to give you all a big kudos for your hard work in the JavaFX ecosystem. I couldn't find any other channel to communicate this so I decided to open a new "issue" despite it might not be (strictly speaking).

I am especially interested into PDFView component as it seems that there is no alternative in the JavaFX world that could be used (especially if one wants to avoid Swing integration).

My questions are as follows:

  • Was there any special reason for this library to require JDK 12?
  • Are there any plans to make this library compatible with JDK 11 (which is at the moment of writing this the latest LTS version)?

If I am not mistaken GemsFX requires JDK 12 because of UnitFx library (which also requires JDK 12). Given the fact that the latest JavaFX (14) requires at least JDK 11 it would be great if requirements for these two libraries would also be lowered to the same version.

Side note:
I've changed the source and target in both GemsFX and UnitFx to JDK 11 locally. Compilation went smooth. I've also tested out PDFView demo application and everything seems to work fine.

That was quick.. :)

Are there any plans for a new micro release in the near future?

I am just curious when approximately a new version (including this change) will be available on JCenter / Maven Central.

Building new releases as we "speak".

Releases are done, please let me know if this works for you now.

For the time being they will only be on jcenter. Eventually they will both show up on Maven central but it usually takes a couple of hours.
