Arch Linux User Repository

greenfoot.org seems to be down. https://i.imgur.com/RUa4pHo.png

Thank you so much for taking over the project! I've been following your advice to build the package and it has worked perfectly so far. Cheers

I did following changes locally to also have mime-types set correctly, to be able to open greenfoot when project.greenfoot is clicked.

Changed greefoot:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -e /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx/lib ]; then
        JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx/lib
else
        JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/lib
fi

JAVAFX_CP="$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.base.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.controls.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.fxml.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.graphics.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.media.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.swing.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx-swt.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/javafx.web.jar"

archlinux-java-run -a 11 -b 11 -- -Djavafx.embed.singleThread=true \
        -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on \
        -cp /opt/greenfoot/bluej.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default/lib/tools.jar:$JAVAFX_CP bluej.Boot \
        -greenfoot=true \
        -bluej.compiler.showunchecked=false \
        -greenfoot.url.javadoc=file:///usr/share/doc/greenfoot/API \
        -javafxpath=$JAVAFX_CP \
        "$@"

Changed greenfoot.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Greenfoot
Comment=A simple Java IDE and animation framework
Categories=Application;Development;
Exec=greenfoot %u
MimeType=application/x-greenfoot.package
Icon=greenfoot
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=bluej.Boot$App

Added greenfoot.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="application/x-greenfoot.package">
         <comment>Greenfoot Package</comment>
         <comment xml:lang="de">Greenfoot Paket</comment>
         <glob pattern="*.greenfoot"/>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

Added greenfoot.install

post_install() {
    if test -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database usr/share/mime &> /dev/null; then update-mime-database usr/share/mime &> /dev/null; fi
}

post_upgrade() {
    post_install
}

pre_remove() {
    if test -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database usr/share/mime &> /dev/null; then update-mime-database usr/share/mime &> /dev/null; fi
}

Changed source and sha256sum lines in PKGBUILD and added

install -Dm644 "${pkgname}.xml" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/mime/packages/${pkgname}.xml"

@chetgurevitch Have you found time to verify that the modifications are working? Here is the code of the greenfoot file:

!/bin/sh

if [ -e /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx/lib ]; then JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx else JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk fi

JAVAFX_CP="$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.base.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.controls.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.fxml.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.graphics.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.media.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.swing.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx-swt.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.web.jar"

archlinux-java-run -a 11 -b 11 -- -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on \ -cp /opt/greenfoot/bluej.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default/lib/tools.jar:$JAVAFX_CP bluej.Boot \ -greenfoot=true \ -bluej.compiler.showunchecked=false \ -greenfoot.url.javadoc=file:///usr/share/doc/greenfoot/API \ -javafxpath="$JAVAFX_HOME" \ "$@"

The new version 3.6.1 (6 Dec 2019) works with the modifications by @foer. Tested it on 8 Dec 2019. No issues like the ones mentioned in my comment on 8 Nov.

Thanks a lot to all the people who contribute to this aur, especially to @chetgurevitch

Awesome. Works without any issues now.

@chetgurevitch Could you please alter the file accordingly? That would be great.

Thanks a lot to everyone.

Greenfoot starts but then gives that error mentioned by @teacher4711 when opening a scenario. Three modifications in /usr/bin/greenfoot have to be done:

1. add -javafxpath="$JAVAFX_HOME" to the startup parameters
2. change pathline to JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk
3. add the lib-Parts to the JAVAFX_CP= line

In all it then looks like:

!/bin/sh

if [ -e /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx/lib ]; then JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjfx/lib else JAVAFX_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk fi

JAVAFX_CP="$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.base.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.controls.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.fxml.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.graphics.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.media.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.swing.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx-swt.jar:$JAVAFX_HOME/lib/javafx.web.jar"

archlinux-java-run -a 11 -b 11 -- -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on \ -cp /opt/greenfoot/bluej.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default/lib/tools.jar:$JAVAFX_CP bluej.Boot \ -greenfoot=true \ -bluej.compiler.showunchecked=false \ -greenfoot.url.javadoc=file:///usr/share/doc/greenfoot/API \ -javafxpath="$JAVAFX_HOME" \ "$@"
