Yes, JavaFX is required if you’re using OpenJDK; see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#OpenJDK – however, it is not given here as a dependency since theoretically other (non-OpenJDK) Java versions should not need it (and the non-OpenJDK packages I looked at don’t specify java-openjfx in their $provides). (I haven’t tested this though.)

This also means that only OpenJDK 8 will work for now, since the java-openjfx package is still only available in its Java 8 version: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/java-openjfx/ (flagged out of date more than a year ago). There’s a package in testing and AUR for Java 11 as well as one in AUR for Java 13, if you’re feeling adventurous.

$archlinux-java status

Available Java environments:

java-11-openjdk (default) java-8-openjdk

I also have java-openjfx installed

Build of 0.9.7_b1-1 was successful.

Update: Builds fine when setting the default to java-8-openjdk

Is the old Java 8 with JavaFX really indispensable for chatty?
