Processing and JavaFX

Hello folks!

The options below assume that this entire topic was read, there is an understanding of what needs to be done for JavaFX to run under Windows, you have a level of proficiency in creating the necessary file structures and using the command-line.

Both of these options appear to work for JavaFX demos in previous post.

Options for using JavaFX with Windows are to create reusable template sketches:

  • Create a sketch with all the required modules (JAR files) in the code folder.

  • Create a sketch with symbolic links to all the required modules (JAR files) in the library
    This is an advanced topic and will not be discussed in detail here.
    Do a bit of research before asking questions.

This is my code folder with symbolic links:

I may consider adding this in the future:
D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\javafx.jar

My batch file for creating mlinks from the command prompt in the code folder:

mklink javafx.base.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.base.jar
mklink javafx.controls.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.controls.jar
mklink javafx.graphics.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.graphics.jar
mklink javafx.media.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.media.jar
mklink javafx.swing.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.swing.jar
mklink javafx.web.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.web.jar
mklink javafx.fxml.jar D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\libraries\javafx\library\windows-amd64\modules\javafx.fxml.jar
