A simple javaFX app with a full logging system which mockes the network connections.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
As long the target of this project is only desktop runing on the jvm we only need to use maven to work with it. You can check how to intall maven on your OS directly on the maven documentation.
To run a JavaFX projet like this with out the help of a build automation tool you will need to pass the module path and the modules that you are using as VM options. We are working with maven so the most convinient way to work with javaFX is through the javafx-maven-plugin which handles all these options for us. This also allows us to have a better integration with owrs IDEs.
You can compile the project using the maven compiler plugin:
mvn compile
Or the javafx-maven-plugin:
mvn javafx:compile
The compiling commands are optional because when you run the project through the javafx-maven-plugin it will compile the project before it try to run it.
To run the project on your local JVM:
mvn javafx:run
We are working with java11 on a modular project so you can build a Jlink too. We are using the javafx-maven-plugin to build it too:
mvn javafx:jlink
This project is configured based on my needs, if your want to go further with it let me give you some advices.
Of course all the plugins I used are fully configurable even if the default configuration is enough for what I have done here. So, I recomend you to read the plugins documentation if you are thinking about making somethink bigger.
A native image is a feature of GraalVM that allow you to compile java code to a standalone executable. With this tool you can make executables for Windows, Linux and MacOS and even for iOS and Android. To get this done on the easy way I recomend you to use client-maven-plugin. You can find all the information you need about the plugin on its repository but if you prefer to check a project that uses this plugin you can check this project of mine.
- Maven - The build automation tool
- OpenJavaFX - An open source, next generation client application platform for desktop, mobile and embedded systems built on Java.
- javafx-maven-plugin - The javaFX plugin which allows to compile and run javaFX 11 or higher projets.
As long this is a personal test I am not acepting any pull request, I hope you understand. But, anyway you can still fork it. If you do, please let me know 😜.
