Exception in Application start method

[mokun]

In 1.4.5, when I run Demo.java in eclipse, I'm getting "Exception in Application start method" and don't know why.

Hmm...strange...works fine for me...took the screenshots running the Demo file.

So I've imported the gradle project into Eclipse and started the Demo file without any problem. If you simply import the project as a Gradle project it should work.

First, I cloned your git repo at https://github.com/HanSolo/tilesfx.git in Eclipse.

Then, I right click on "tilesfx" and chose "Import Projects" to import the project.

Next, I have to find "json-simple-1.1.1.jar" and download it from somewhere and configure the build path to include this jar.

At this point, I tried executing the Demo.java in eclipse since it has main() but for some strange reason, I received "Exception in Application start method".

But if I run "gradlew Demo" in my Windows OS's command prompt, it works. The JavaFX stage pops up showing off different tiles without a hitch.

It's only in eclipse that it didn't work.

You need to import a gradle project and then select the tilesfx folder with the build.gradle file in it. Gradle will take care about all dependencies, no need to manually import ir download libraries. I've tested it in Eclipse Neon and it worked at the first try (and I don't use Eclipse normally).

... with the build.gradle file

Got it. Yes I do need to jump thru a few more hoops : right click on build.gradle file and choose Import / Gradle / Existing Gradle Project

It runs well now in eclipse.

Keep up your good work !
