Unable to launch results of jfxDeploy task
Issue #17
new
If I specify a main class in the build.gradle javafx section, the programs generated by the jfxDeploy task can not be executed. They fail with the message "Unable to find class ...".
I created a minimal example showing the problems. They occur in the 0.4.0 and 0.5.0 snapshots of the javafx-gradle plugin. It worked in 0.3.0.

Which platform? Which JVM version? OSX Mavericks 8.0-eaworked fine on the first try.
Also, could you create a gist of "gradle jfxDeploy --debug"?

Also, try using a more recent version of gradle if possible. Your wrapper is pointing to 1.3, and the current version is 1.8. But even that didn't break it for me, I don't think I have your particular combination under test.

I am using gradle 1.3 and Oracle JVM 1.7.0_21 on MacOS X 10.8.4. I also tested it with gradle 1.8 today. It gives the same (broken) result. After the "jar" task, javafx-gradle-bug.jar contains Bug.class. After the "jfxJar" task, javafx-gradle-bug.jar contains a file called javafx-gradle-bug.jar again, but no class files at all. This seems to be the reason, why "./gradlew run" runs successfully, but "./gradlew jfxDeploy" produces an unusable result.

Here is the log file you requested:

I updated my JVM to 1.7.0_45. It works as you said, i.e. newer versions of the javafx gradle plugin (> 0.3.0) seem to have issues with older version of the JVM (=1.7.0_21).

Yes, There was a bug in the jfxpackager that was fixed in 7u40 that I had to do a horrible workaround. I removed that workaround in the 0.4.0 release.
In 0.5.0 I will add JDK version checks and warn the users about using older versions to remove this confusion.

That would be great! It took me quite some time to figure out what the actual problem was.
