Updating the JavaFX Release Version

Here are the instructions for updating the JavaFX release version number for a feature release or security (dot-dot) release. See JDK-8226365 for a recent example.

Incrementing the feature version

Here are the steps to increment the JavaFX release version number to a new feature version (for example, from 13 to 14).

• In .jcheck/conf, modify the version property in the [general] section to increment the JBS version number from jfx$N to jfx$N+1.

• In build.properties, modify the following properties to increment the feature version number from N to N+1:

    jfx.release.major.version
    javadoc.title
    javadoc.header

• In modules/javafx.base/src/test/java/test/com/sun/javafx/runtime/VersionInfoTest.java, modify the FEATURE variable to increment the feature version number from N to N+1.

Incrementing the security version

Here are the steps to increment the JavaFX release version number to a new security version (for example, from 13 to 13.0.1).

• In .jcheck/conf, modify the version property in the [general] section to increment the JBS version number from jfx$N to jfx$N.0.1 or from jfx$N.0.M to jfx$N.0.$M+1.

• In build.properties, modify the jfx.release.security.version property to increment the security version number from M to M+1.
