We can’t just add a new dependency in our Maven or Gradle file and start using it straight away. JavaFX is not quite as simple a dependency as any other library you might be using in your applications. What I wanted to find out is what’s the current best way to create a new JavaFX application, and how do you run it from inside IntelliJ IDEA? I’ve been using JavaFX in a number of my demo applications over the last six years, and the one thing I’ve learnt is that it’s a bit of a moving target, in particular since JavaFX was taken out of the JDK in Java 11. This week we’re doing a Live Stream on JavaFX, and I wanted to use that opportunity to refresh my JavaFX knowledge.
