Adding modules and dependencies

You can add modules and dependencies using Gradle. Here's an example with icon packs from Ikonli project, by Andres Almiray.

Clone this repository.

Add ikonli-javafx and an icon pack as dependencies.

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
     implementation 'org.kordamp.ikonli:ikonli-javafx:11.1.0'
     implementation 'org.kordamp.ikonli:ikonli-fontawesome-pack:11.1.0'
}

Modify module-info.java to require ikonli modules.

module fxapp {
    ...
    // add icon pack modules
    requires org.kordamp.iconli.core;
    requires org.kordamp.ikonli.javafx;
    requires org.kordamp.ikonli.fontawesome;
}

Invoke the dist target.
Run the generated image.

Distribution images

Once you run gradle dist, a ZIP file with a specific, optimized JVM for your local platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) will be generated inside build/distributions.

CI/CD for Windows, Mac, and Linux

This project comes with an Azure Pipelines setup. It is ready to produce binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Visit the service to set up your account, and integrate with GitHub.
