[Nottingham] Looking for live help (in person/screensharing) - struggling to run openjfx

[Martin]

Mateusz,

Welcome to the group!


The javafx looks a bit specialised.

There's lots expertise in our group and I've done various trickery to
get various systems working running on a jvm...

*Any takers onlist* ??


If you can demonstrate on a laptop, you're very welcome to come to our
meetings for some debug and exploration. Our next meet is a 'social' at
Langtry's pub, eating at Wagamama, on Thursday 13/02/2020.

(Note to self, must update the website sometime...)

Our next 'talk' evening is at The Kilpin on Thursday 27/02/2020 where we
have a quiet area with a big screen monitor. Those evenings are very
much also fix-it/demo evenings.


Hopefully you're not suffering a show-stopper with this?

Welcome to the group,


Best wishes,
Martin
