Build JavaFX 8 with Maven

maven maven-3 maven-plugin javafx-8

JavaFx 8 do work and will only work with Java 8.

Also check the current javaFx roadmap: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/overview/roadmap-1446331.html

I did not have any problems getting it running.

  1. Download and install JDK8: https://jdk8.java.net/download.html 1.1. be sure it's the oonly one and default jdk on your system if you don't know what you are doing ...
  2. Download Netbeans 7.4: https://netbeans.org/downloads
  3. In Netbeans: (File -> New project -> Project from Archetype -> "type in under javafx" -> "select": javafx-basic-archetype) 3.1. don't forget to set the organisation name
  4. Download &/ copy paste an javaFx 8 class example &/ demo from somewhere, for example: http://carlfx.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/introduction-by-example-javafx-8-printing/ 4.1. Now set the project sources to 1.8 and utf-8
  5. Clean and build and run it!
  6. enjoy!

In case your are having troubles in finding the javafx-8-libs with maven from the console or with another ide, than you have to set the javafx-8-lib-path like this:

  1. You have to tell maven where the javafx-lib is exactly:

    <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1</version>
    <configuration>
            <!-- this maven plugin does not functions with java 8 yet, passing java 7 is just fine. -->
        <source>1.7</source>
        <target>1.7</target>
        <compilerArguments>
            <bootclasspath>${sun.boot.class.path}${path.separator}${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</bootclasspath>
        </compilerArguments>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

** Note: you don't have to use that specific archetype mentioned above to get it running ** Nothing really bad, but next time just paste the delta of your content instead of posting all of it again, without the delta the effort is much higher, since a comparison of the file have to be made by each one trying to understand it ...

    I tested to create JavaFX 8 project with Netbeans 7.4. But unfortunately with no luck. This is the POM file:

    When I compile the jar file run it with Netbeans 7.3.1 I get this error:

    When I compile the project and run it on Netbeans 7.4 I get this error stack:

    Is there any example with Java 8 and Maven which is implemented and working properly?

    P.S I managed to make it working after I remove a plugin. I edited the POM this way:

    It works only for JVM 8. Am I missing something important into the POM file?
