Hello everyone,

A question for those of you still using GroovyFX or willing to give it a try:

As you may be aware JavaFX8 and JavaFX9 are binary incompatible due to package updates. It's a bit troublesome for library makers to keep a project compatible with JavaFX8 and JavaFX9+ (as a matter of fact I'd Say skip JavaFX9 & 10, use 11 as the base instead as it's LTS).

The question is:

- Do you need JavaFX 8 compatibility? In other words, can you move to JavaFX11 as a minimum?

Cheers,

Andres

Binary compatibility would be the ideal, but failing that, I think we need to find a path forward with some compromises.

A JDK11 minimum but retaining source code compatibility would be the next ideal from my point of view.

Cheers, Paul.

I'm interested in giving a GroovyFX a fresh look. (I'm especially interested in the possibility of using annotations to generate

JavaFX property methods on POJOs)

JavaFX 11 and later is fine (preferred, in fact.)  I also think it would be preferable to target this to Groovy 4.
