Compile failed (Linux Mint 17.2)

Hello,

I can't seem to build NodeBox following the instructions on the site.

ant run returns:

$ sudo ant run
Buildfile: /usr/share/nodebox/build.xml
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource com/sun/javafx/tools/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

properties:

    [mkdir] Created dir: /usr/share/nodebox/build/doc
    [mkdir] Created dir: /usr/share/nodebox/dist
    [mkdir] Created dir: /usr/share/nodebox/dist/resources

Seems like an issue with my java compiler, however java -version returns:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.6) (7u79-2.5.6-0ubuntu1.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

By the way, NodeBox looks incredible! I'm a big pd user and getting into python. I'm looking forward to communicating my pd patches with NodeBox over OSC.

I have the exact same issue on my machine running Xubuntu 15.10.

The source and target release are set to 1.8, so you need Java 8.

If that's an issue, there's not that much Java 8 code in NodeBox, so we could try to roll that back and force compatibility with Java 1.7.

Oh, thanks! ^.^
