    Study Notes

    Creating Multi-Scene Java FX Applications

    • To create a multi-scene application in Java FX, use NetBeans to create new fxml view files.
    • Edit these files using SceneBuilder.
    • Save the edited files.
    • Create controllers for each of these views in NetBeans and save them to the source folder.
    • Create a new "images" resource folder and save resources to that folder.
    • Create a public static method or field in the initial viewController.
    • The secondary viewController should have a private field that is set based on the initial viewController.

    Packaging Java FX Applications

    • Java FX applications can be packaged as a self-contained application JAR file.
    • The JAR file will include compiled class files, application resources, and a launcher.
    • The Java and Java FX runtimes are included. Java runtime version can be fully controlled by the application developer.
    • JavaFX applications can be packaged in NetBeans by using the Maven FXML project type.
    • Utilize the "Clean and Build" command to package the Java FX application.
    • Resources should be saved in the project src/main/resources folder to be included in the JAR file.

    Creating a Self-Contained Jar File

    • Create a new class named "Main" that extends Application.
    • This main class cannot extend any class besides Object.
    • Update the maven-shade-plugin to point to the new "Main" class.
    • Change the project configuration to "release-profile."
    • "Clean and Build" the project.
    • The packaged JAR file will be located in the project's target folder, and can be run by double clicking on the JAR file.
