OpenJFX Samples

Note: This repository is a fork of openjfx/samples.

A comprehensive collection of JavaFX sample projects demonstrating how to build and run JavaFX applications using various build tools and IDEs.

Overview

This repository contains a set of HelloFX sample projects created with JavaFX. Each sample illustrates a minimal HelloWorld-style application that can be compiled and executed using different toolchains -- from the command line, with Maven or Gradle, or directly within popular IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and Eclipse. Both modular and non-modular project configurations are provided.

Features

• Command Line samples -- Build and run JavaFX apps without an IDE using CLI, Maven, or Gradle
• IDE samples -- Pre-configured projects for IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and Eclipse
• Modular and Non-modular -- Examples for both Java module system (JPMS) and classpath-based setups
• Multiple build tools -- Support for plain Java compilation, Maven, and Gradle

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 11+ (with JavaFX SDK or as a Maven/Gradle dependency)
• JavaFX SDK 13+ (for non-Maven/Gradle command line builds)
• Maven 3.6+ (for Maven-based samples)
• Gradle 5.0+ (for Gradle-based samples)
• An IDE of your choice (IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, or Eclipse) for IDE-specific samples
