Running EmojiOneJava on NetBeans

I keep running into errors when I try to run the code from EmojiOneJava on NetBeans. It's someone else's code and I want to see how it'll work. I need help either running this code in NetBeans or via GitBash (I used a Windows computer)

Link to GitHub repository: https://github.com/UltimateZero/EmojiOneJava

Example of error I encounter:

Solution

  • First:

    Refactor both of your FXML files into the fx folder with their controllers. Do the same thing with emoji.jsonand Json.java. Refactor those to the emojione folder.

    New Project Structure

    Second:

    //The correct way to load and Image:


private String getEmojiImagePath(String hexStr)
{
    String filePath = "resources/com/uz/emojione/fx/png_40/" + hexStr + ".png";
    File file = new File(filePath);

    return file.toURI().toString();
}

    Third:

    Go to your src folder and cut the resources folder. Now paste the resources folder into the same folder as src

    enter image description here

    Finally: You will have to deploy the resources folder in the same folder as your jar to run this outside of Netbeans.

    I notice that you also have this:

    enter image description here

    To get this running I had to do the same thing with loading the images that I did above.
