    Study Notes

    CSC 2040: Multi-Scene & App Deployment

    • Course name: CSC 2040
    • Topic: Multi-Scene & App Deployment
    • Objectives:
      • Demonstrate creating multi-scene JavaFX applications.
      • Incorporate SceneBuilder for application setup.
      • Configure JavaFX applications.
      • Manage and package external resources.
      • Construct self-contained JAR files for JavaFX applications.

    Week 12 Agenda

    • JavaFX Multi-Scene App
    • Application JAR Files
    • NetBeans IDE Packaging Tool
    • Creating Self-Contained Applications
    • TODO
    • Resources for Help

    Multi-Scene App: Views

    • Create new FXML view files using NetBeans.
    • Edit files using SceneBuilder.
    • Save FXML files.
    • Example views include "Initial Scene Graph" and "Secondary Scene Graph".
    • Use elements like BorderPane, ImageView, TextArea, etc.

    Multi-Scene App: ViewControllers

    • Create controllers for each view in NetBeans.
    • Move controllers to source folders.
    • Create a new resource folder named "images".
    • Save images to the resources.

    Multi-Scene App: Main App

    • Open the main file (e.g., App.java) in NetBeans.
    • Update the start method to load the initial scene graph.
    • Take note of shared private scene and shared public setRoot method.
    • Use loadFXML to swap scene graphs.

    Multi-Scene App: Scene Graph Swap

    • Open the initial viewController
    • Setup the event handler to trigger scene graph swap
    • The initial viewController has a static public method or field to access data from the secondary viewController

    Multi-Scene App: ViewController 2

    • Open secondary viewController
    • Create private field for name data.
    • Set field value on the method or field of the primary viewController.
    • Access data in the secondary viewController.

    Application Package: JAR File

    • JavaFX applications can be packaged as platform-specific JAR files.
    • JAR files contain compiled class files and application resources.
    • They offer hassle-free compatibility.
    • Application version is controlled by the developer.
    • No Java Runtime installation is needed to run deployed application.

    NetBeans IDE Packaging Tool

    • NetBeans Maven FXML projects can be packaged.
    • Use the "Clean and Build" command to package JavaFX applications.

    Creating JAR File: Step-by-Step

    • Create a Maven FXML project in NetBeans.
    • Ensure resources are in the src/main/resources folder.
    • Create a new Java class (e.g., Main) extending Application.
    • Update pom.xml with Maven Shade plugin.
    • Set mainclass element in pom.xml
    • Run the project in NetBeans.
    • Copy the JAR file to operating system file explorer.
    • Run the JAR file by double-clicking it.

    Creating JAR File: Step-by-Step (Continued)

    • Change the project configuration to a "release-profile."
    • Ensure the release actions are configured properly in the project properties.

    Pre-Work Grade & TODO

    • Post weekly discussion questions and research solutions to D2L.
    • Complete Week 12 Content Module in D2L to 100%.

    Help and Resources

    • Student office hours.
    • Email address.
    • On-campus tutoring.
    • 24/7 online tutoring.
