Processing Download

This repository stores a backup of the legacy dependency files used for building Processing.

Context

To build Processing, the build system downloads various dependencies, such as OpenJDK and OpenJFX, as specified in the build.xml file. Some of these dependencies are hosted on a server accessible via stable urls at download.processing.org. This is a fallback solution, in case any of those files end up no longer being hosted by their original distributors.

Purpose

This repository acts as a reliable source and backup for these files, using Git LFS for larger items. Its primary role is to ensure a backup is available for deploying a new download server if needed. However, note that it does NOT and SHOULD NOT directly serve NOR continuously deploy files to download.processing.org. This must be done separately.
