JavaFX 12 samples to run from NetBeans with different options and build tools

Version NetBeans 11.1

Download an appropriate JDK 12 for your operating system. Make sure JAVA_HOME is properly set to the Java 12 installation directory.

The samples assume NetBeans 11 runs on JDK 12 (this can be set editing the etc/netbeans.conf file and setting netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk12").

Download JavaFX jmods for your operating system and unzip to a desired location.

Clone the sample, open it with NetBeans, and make sure the paths for Java 12 and JavaFX 12 match those on your machine.

Clean, build and run from the NetBeans usual buttons, or from command line:

mvn clean javafx:run

As well, this will work from the terminal on Linux or Mac:

java --module-path $PATH_TO_FX:target/hellofx-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -m hellofx/org.openjfx.MainApp

or on Windows:

java --module-path %PATH_TO_FX%:target\hellofx-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -m hellofx/org.openjfx.MainApp

To create and run a custom JRE, from terminal:

On Linux or Mac run:

cd IDE/NetBeans/Modular/Maven/hellofx
mvn clean javafx:jlink
target/hellofx/bin/launcher

On Windows run:

cd IDE\NetBeans\Modular\Maven\hellofx
mvn clean javafx:jlink
target\hellofx\bin\launcher
