Fails to build fx version

[venture]

I am back to using JFreeChart after a long absence!
I wanted to use JavaFx version so I have downloaded 1.0.19 and run the ant for build-fx.xml but get errors.
Any hints or should I wait for JFreeChart 1.0.20?

Using Java 1.8.0_u60 on win 10 64 bit
ERROR MESSAGE:

If you change the method "protected String getUserAgentStylesheet()" to public it should build OK. It came about because of a non-backward compatible change in the JavaFX API.

I will try to bundle up a 1.0.20 release so that this works out-of-the-box.

yes, that fixed the build.
Onwards!
Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that I ran into this problem as well.

Thanks.

Just for info I am working on new releases where the JavaFX support will be moved into a separate project. In the end it will make things simpler:
