javafx-gradle-plugin VS LWJGL

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!

**Useful resources** _([Full list](/r/JavaFX/wiki/resources))_ * [OpenJFX.io](https://openjfx.io/) * [JavaFX source](https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/) * [JavaFX bugtracker](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146386?jql=project%20%3D%20JDK%20AND%20component%20%3D%20javafx) * [JFX-Central](https://www.jfx-central.com/) [**Rules**](/r/JavaFX/about/rules/) 1. No NSFW/NSFL content 2. No service requests/offers 3. Must be JavaFX related 3.

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.

You could also download the JavaFX modules separately from https://openjfx.io/

Download the latest LWJGL binaries from the official website.

Both libGDX and JMonkey engine make use of LWJGL.

Java Edition uses a number of third party libraries but the core game library is Light Weight Java Game Library, LWJGL.

Minecraft uses LWGL under the hood, which does support Wayland as of version 3 if it is configured to use EGL instead of GLX. (see https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/issues/748) Version 2 of LWGL does not support Wayland as it relies on xrandr, which is only available on X (see https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues/118).
