How to add to JavaFX Scene stylesheet from another module in Java 9?


I have two JPMS modules:

In module-a I have something like:

public class MyAppplication extends Application {
   ....
   public static void addCss(String path) {
       stage.getScene().getStylesheets().add(path);
   }
}

In module-b I have CSS file which I want to add to MyApplication. How to do it in code in module-b? I can't understand how to pass path from another module.

I mean in module-b:

...
MyApplication.addCss(???);
...

EDIT
In OSGi I used the following solution in bundle-b (assuming, that module-a was bundle-a, and module-b was bundle-b):

String pathInBundleB = "com/foo/package-in-bundle-b/file.css"
Bundle bundleB = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(this.getClass()).getBundleContext().getBundle();
URL cssFileUrl = bundleB.getEntry(pathInBundleB);
MyApplication.addCss(cssFileUrl.toString());

Solution

  • I found the solution with the help of @AlanBateman.

    Assuming, that css file is in com/foo/some-package/file.css I use the following code in module-b:

    package com.foo.some-package;
    
    public class SomeClass {
    
      public void init() {
          MyApplication.addCss(this.getClass().getResource("base.css").toString());
      }
    }
    

    Besides, in module-info of module-b I have:

    opens com.foo.some-package to module-a;
