eclipsejavafxefxclipse

JAVA Fx and Eclipse

I can't find my answer anywhere

I know javafx is now part of the SDK as of java 8 release and late java 7 release.

I am using Eclipse and scene builder 8 to build an app for a school project.

I want to know if the teacher needs to install e(fx)clipse to run the app so it will work properly ?

Also I am using a maven build for Junit dependencies do I need to add any javaFx library ? for it to work (even tho its already part of the sdk)

Thank you

  • I want to know if the teacher needs to install e(fx)clipse to run the app so it will work properly ?

    No, e(fx)clipse is not mandatory for building JavaFX apps. If you don't have a highly complex app, you will be fine without efxclipse.

    Also I am using a maven build for Junit dependencies do I need to add any javaFx library ? for it to work (even tho its already part of the sdk)

    No if you're using Oracle Java JDK 8, you don't need to add any JavaFX library.

    A good tutorial to start with JavaFX apps is http://code.makery.ch/library/javafx-8-tutorial/, I found it useful when I started out.
