Module support (for JavaFX)

[Duncan Mak]

I'm interested in trying out
https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx which seems to depend
on java modules now.

To run the Hello World example, to compile the java source code, this
is the command used:

javac --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules javafx.controls HelloFX.java

Does Kawa support anything similar if I want to write the same code in
Kawa Scheme instead?


Thanks!

See this message https://sourceware.org/ml/kawa/2017-q3/msg00089.html
(and Helmut's response).

Not very elegant, but I hope it will let you try things out.

I'm open to adding the --add-modules flag to the kawa.sh script, assuming
that will make things easier.
