Support of SVG ImageLoader in JavaFX

[René Reiß]

Hi,

In Java 8 I used a SVGImageLoader to support SVGs in css-Files,
something like
-fx-background-image : url("/svg/minusicon.svg");

In Java 11 I get an IllegalAccessError

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superinterface check failed: class
SvgImageLoaderFactory (in unnamed module @0x2a8d6c41) cannot access
class com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageLoaderFactory (in module javafx.graphics)
because module javafx.graphics does not export com.sun.javafx.iio to
unnamed module @0x2a8d6c41

I know, the ImageLoaderFactory is not part of the official JavaFX public
API. But, why not? Why it is no more possible to write an own
ImageLoader? It is planned for the future?

Is there another possibility to support SVGs in JavaFX applications?
Otherwise I have to convert all SVGs to png or jpegs, but this will be a
step backwards for me.

Thanks,

You can use a custom URLStreamHandler not?
