@infinidoge:inx.moeInfinidoge 🏳️‍⚧️Using the Nixpkgs OpenJFX would be the better solution20:48:38

@devurandom:matrix.orgDennis I do not know much about OpenJFX. How can I make gradle run run the application with a different OpenJFX implementation? Does that need modifications to the build.gradle script? 00:18:25
@infinidoge:inx.moeInfinidoge 🏳️‍⚧️Unfortunately I don't know much about JFX either, so I'd have to do some tinkering to figure it out03:44:45

Thanks!

I found docs that seem promising: https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-gradle-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#5-using-a-local-javafx-sdk

However I noticed that after nix-collect-garbage nothing in /run/current-system or /nix/store remains of jfx / javafx. Of the openjfx packages only some drv files remain:

❯ ls /nix/store/*openjfx*

Is this because I have no application installed that uses these packages? So Nix ignores systemPackages and believes the package is not needed?

More specifically, it gets garbage collected because it isn't listed as a garbage collection root. I believe there is a nix store command to add it manually, or you can use something like system.extraDependencies to include it in your NixOS configuration 		14:23:42
@infinidoge:inx.moeInfinidoge 🏳️‍⚧️It's not an ideal solution, referring to nix store paths explicitly isn't generally recommended, but it does work at least14:24:31
@devurandom:matrix.orgDennis Thanks! Why did that not happen to other packages in systemPackages? Because they install sth into /run/current-system? 14:25:12

Yes. Everything that is installed in the system is part of the "closure", which is marked as a garbage collection root, so it doesn't get cleaned up 		14:26:14
@infinidoge:inx.moeInfinidoge 🏳️‍⚧️(It wouldn't be very good if you garbage collected all of the stuff your system needed to run lol)14:26:34
