java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException when running jfxNative in Windows about javafx-gradle-plugin

@FibreFoX Hi, thanks for the follow up. Not for now. I decided to run the jar task manually for each project since I am a bit short in time, although when I have more time I will investigate how to automate this, and I will post here the followup

You might need to adjust the order of the projects depending on each other. To avoid some misconfiguration, please use afterEvaluate { project -> } as this plugin does change the jfx-tasks after the project got evaluated. (This was done because of detecting missing jfx-classes)

Thank you very much for you fast response. I am not very experienced in gradle, so if it isn't a problem for you, could you explain a bit more what you mean with "adjust the order of the projects" and how should I use afterEvaluate { project -> } ?

What I had in mind is craete a task that runs before jfx, but I am not sure how to accomplish this and also when I add any dependsOn to the jfx task it says that it can't find the task it should depend to

Aditionally, what do you mean with "detecting missing jfx-classes"? What kind of classes could be missing, for example custom components?

Gradle maintains it's own order of processing your build-instructions. As they (the authors of Gradle) think that they do know better, they are giving you a way for controlling the ordering, you might want to lookup this inside the documentation: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_lifecycle.html

Regarding the detection: when a java class gets instanciated, all import-instructions are getting resolved, but when working with OpenJDK, you are missing the JavaFX-parts (as they are not part of the main-standard). The so called OracleJDK (the JDK which is distributed by Oracle itself) does contain the core JDK + the JavaFX addendum part (they will change this with JDK11 again).

So in order to have the tasks being available as buildscript extensions, I rewrote some parts after that evaluation-process happened,, but changed that approach in later versions of this plugin, because it made a lot of trouble.

Just a small reminder: #119
This plugin will get replaced by a different plugin (I really hope to have this prior JDK11 .... but personal life makes it very hard to get time for this)

@frnusmartobjects any progress on your side?
