Useful-Things VS javafx-gradle-plugin

Creating fat-jar's for maven/gradle projects each release using automated CI (Like GitHub Actions, or Jenkins)

You can refer to my example demonstrating the fix if you want a visual here: https://github.com/Col-E/Useful-Things/tree/master/tutorials/javafx/maven-setup/src/main/java/org/example

On the other side, I think you did a really good job illustrating how DI works with this document.

No, just use a normal Java template for Maven/Gradle and add JavaFX as a dependency. I have examples here: https://github.com/Col-E/Useful-Things/tree/master/tutorials/javafx

JavaFX FatJar with Maven

Using Maven, declare JavaFX as a dependency

If the steps are confusing, I have a maven empty demo project here: https://github.com/Col-E/Useful-Things/tree/master/tutorials/javafx/maven-setup

You can make a sorta kinda "Multi-platform" JavaFX jar, but only for one architecture per OS. Their dll/so/dylib path names all conflict which is infuriating.

I typically roll with a standard fatJar plugin. I made a short guide for somebody before. Is that the direction you were looking for?

JavaFX is a desktop and UI framework. Its official website is openjfx.io and is also supported by Gluon which provides additional UI components and brings mobile app support to JavaFX. JBang supports this frameowrk and can be used to create signle file JavaFX applications.

It has a very active community, nothing is dead when there are active users. It has been living as independent package for a long time https://openjfx.io

Other topics handled in this chapter are Kotlin utilities for JavaFX and direct downloads of JavaFX releases from openjfx.io. The author also explains why FXML is not used in the book. I agree with his view that the XML files are not as dynamic as code and bring a mix of technologies into your project.

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.

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!

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.

JavaFX works well with Kotlin if you're looking for an imperative toolkit. Just add this plugin in your build.gradle to import it.
