Are We Out of Luck for Rich Text Editing?
RichTextFX isn't great -- documentation is generally unhelpful and not much development lately. I've also found bugs in the component and figuring my way around internals is hard for a new-ish Kotlin dev.

Rich Text Editor
RichTextFX is very much Some Assembly Required and there isn't much documentation. I would definitely say it's not easy to use IMHO. I'm currently working on creating a word processing control with it, but it's still very much a work in progress. If you go the route of using RichTextFX, the repo might help you figure some things out.

How to have text wrapping around another component?
This is a tough one. JavaFX doesn't currently have that capability. This would involve a lot of font metrics and line metrics calculations. The API currently does not have public methods for such. Might be added in future versions of javafx.

MaterialFX reaches version 11.13.2
VirtualizedFX and TextFlow will be key to creating stylized text editor if you decide to venture that direction. A game changer. RichtextFX is the most popular but uses Flowless as a virtualised container for TextFlow display, hence has many dependencies.

Setting up Continuous Integration
One, I don't understand Java environments really well. All I have done so far is create some GUI applications using JavaFX. Wish I could share my code, but unfortunately, its part of my assignments and can't be open-sourced. Second, the instructions I found in the Contributing docs were bare-minimum, and kinda hard to follow for a beginner. An experienced Java developer would get them really quickly, no doubt about that.

How to use the JavaFX library Medusa to display weather data
JavaFX (an open source, next generation client application platform for desktop, mobile and embedded systems) has many useful out the box UI controls to build modern interactive desktop apps. These include buttons, checkboxes, list views, labels etc, that can be configured and styled in countless ways. I’ve using them for many years at work building mapping apps!

Finally passed C195 Software 2, AMA!
As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that the 4 part webinar actually sets up a lot of it. By this point, you should have installed: your IDE (I used intellliJ), the Java SDK, downloaded the JavaFX file here(that you'll manually add into your project structure), and the MySQL connector J file.
