"I am getting the following exception when running my JavaFX 8 application under Corretto.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: C:\Amazon Corretto\jdk1.8.0_192\jre\bin\glib-lite.dll

My application works fine under Oracle JDK 1.8.

I confirmed the missing dll does not exist anywhere in the Corretto folder. The following which I found to be in OpenJFX and also present in Azul's ZuluFX are not in the Corretto runtime:

  • gstreamer-lite.dll
  • glib-lite.dll
  • fxplugins.dll
  • jfxmedia.dll
  • jfxwebkit.dll
  • prism_es2.dll
  • ucrtbase.dll

Will this be addressed in an update? Or perhaps Corretto is intentionally choosing to not fully support some JavaFX media capabilites?"

As of today (2020-01-23) Corretto for Java 8 includes Java FX 8 so the compilation is fine but you may encounter problems at runtime. In my case I found out that jfxwebkit.dll was missing so I could not display HTML panels in JavaFX.

So I ended up using Azul Zulu which includes a full version of Java FX 8. BEWARE: make sure to download the "JDK FX" edition of Zulu which is not the default one on the download page. So far so good.

As of today, Corretto doesn't include JavaFX media. It has been requested in https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/issues/26 and the team is working on the best way to include it in the future.

We are using https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#/java-8-lts as an alternative to Oracle, since it includes all of JavaFX including webkit. One of our projects using webkit is http://github.com/cirdles/squid - load the example project and then open the expression manager and webkit is used to render expressions using MathML.
