IllegalAccessError on FontAwesomeIcon construction

[khaled bed]

JDK 1.8.0_45 Attempting to construct an instance of FontAwesomeIcon results in IllegalAccessError:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser.<init>()V 

      from class de.jensd.fx.glyphs.GlyphIcon 

      at de.jensd.fx.glyphs.GlyphIcon.<clinit>(GlyphIcon.java:49)

Khaled,

would you verify the java version again? Did you try with a newer JDK, e.g. 1.8.0_77?

com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser is private API which has changed since 1.8.0_40.

yes I was using JDK 1.8.0_31 that's why it doesn't work for me.

after updating to 1.8.0_92 version everything is working great..

thank you so much guys for this awesome library

This is still an issue. com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser is not accessible in Java 9 resulting in java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

In Java 9 there is now a public class 'javafx.css.CssParser' that could be used instead. Possible fix, assuming compilation with javac prior to 9, is to replace GlyphIcon#convert with dynamic invocation for Java 9:

public Number convert(String sizeString) {
    if (System.getProperty("java.specification.version").substring(0, 1).compareTo("9") < 0) {
        com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser CSS_PARSER = new com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser();
        com.sun.javafx.css.ParsedValueImpl parsedValueImpl = CSS_PARSER.parseExpr("", sizeString);
        return (Number) parsedValueImpl.convert(getFont());
    } else {
        try {
            Class c = Class.forName("javafx.css.CssParser");
            Method parseExpr = c.getMethod("parseExpr", String.class, String.class);
            Object parser = c.newInstance();
            Object parsedValue = parseExpr.invoke(parser, "", sizeString);
            return (Number) ((ParsedValue) parsedValue).convert(getFont());
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException | NoSuchMethodException | IllegalAccessException | 
                    InstantiationException | InvocationTargetException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to convert '" + sizeString + "' to a number. " + e.getMessage(), e);
        }
    }
}

I have attached code to solve this issue to #55. Please give feedback if something doesn't work as it should.
