I want to install openjfx8 (which is compatible with Java 8) on Ubuntu 19.04. This was available on Ubuntu 18.04, and I had installed as follows: (Refer: How do I get Java FX running with OpenJDK 8 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS? - Stack Overflow)

sudo apt install openjfx=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-java=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-jni=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 openjfx-source=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2

But in Ubuntu 19.04 these package are not available:

$ sudo apt-cache policy openjfx
openjfx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 11.0.2+1-1
  Version table:
     11.0.2+1-1 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/universe amd64 Packages

How can I install the old package from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.04?

Following example illustrates how to install a package not available in a particular version of Ubuntu but available in an older Ubuntu:

  • If you want to install openjfx8 in 19.04 which is available in 18.04 at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/arm64/openjfx/download.
    1. Append deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe to /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. Do sudo apt update
    3. Install the packages: sudo apt install openjfx=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-jni=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-java=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2
    4. Mark hold to prevent upgrade: apt-mark hold openjfx libopenjfx-jni libopenjfx-java
    5. To prevent any other complications Remove deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe from /etc/apt/sources.list
    6. Do sudo apt update
