JavaFX 2.0 :: How To Add Screen Builder To Eclipse 4.2.2
May 29, 2015
I want to include JavaFX in my Eclipse IDE. I found intructions on how to import JavaFX Screen Builder into Eclipse 4.4 but my version is 4.2.2
I noticed that JavaFX is included into Java JDK now, I have installed Java JDK 8_45
The info on the oracle java pages is telling me i have to install JavaFX Screen Builder 2 before installing the plugin.
So, how to i proceed ???
I tried to inport e(fx)clipse plugin 1.2 and 0.9 but both refuses to install. Messages received as follows:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: e(fx)clipse - IDE - FXML 1.2.0.201501301049 (org.eclipse.fx.ide.fxml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.201501301049)

I am new to javafx and my goal is to basically just test if my java code works with Mysql. What I'm planning to do is to display one data of the sakila database into a Label named greetingLabel. And I can't seem to find where i went wrong so i'll show you my whole code.
Here is the main code for my controller class from scene builder:
Here is the error displayed when pressing the button
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader$MethodHandler.invoke(Unknown Source) at javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader$ControllerMethodEventHandler.handle(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javafx.event.CompositeEventHandler.dispatchBubblingEvent(Unknown Source)
I think this might be the reason as this comboBox is not recognized at the import to the scene builder library. I can show up the import dialog of custom controls, but my custom ComboBox is not showing up. All other implementations are there correctly as they are loaded from my customControl.jar file
I use the ComboBoxListViewSkin for the functionality to scroll to an item in the combo as a user types a letter on the keyboard.
I do this by:
/** * This method scrolls the itemView of the items to the first item starting * with the given char or string * * @param pressedKey */ public void scrollToChar(String pressedKey) { String value = pressedKey.toUpperCase(); for (Object userEntry : getItems()) {
[Code] ....
I really need to show up my custom Combo in the scenebuilder, as otherwise the rest of my fxml is not editable in sceneBuilder 2.0 ....
The idea is pretty simple; extend StackPane, add an active property, bind the visible and managed properties of the pane to the active property, and, whenever the active property is changed to true, iterate sibling nodes de-activating any siblings that are also of the type Card.
However, this doesn't work with Scene Builder. While trying to debug, I created an ExtStackPane:
import javafx.collections.ListChangeListener; import javafx.scene.Node; import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane; public class ExtStackPane extends StackPane { { getChildren().addListener((ListChangeListener<Node>) c -> { System.out.println("ExtStackPane children change: " + c.toString()); }); } }
All this does is log list change events. However, I was very surprised by the output when working in Scene Builder. I added both controls to Scene Builder and did the following:
0) Added an ExtStackPane 1) Added a Card to the ExtStackPane 2) Added another Card to the ExtStackPane 3) Added a Label to the first Card 4) Added a Label to the second Card 5) Changed the text of the first Label to Hello 6) Changed the text of the second Label to World 7) Set the first Card to active 8) Set the second Card to active
I get the following output:
1) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@5b9067b3] added at 0 }
2) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6b6328bd] added at 0 } ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6aca8cc5] added at 1 }
[Code] ....
This is what things look like in Scene Builder:
Does Scene Builder recreate the entire hierarchy every time I make a small change? Here's an application that does the same as the manual steps I performed in Scene Builder:
import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class CardApplication extends Application {
[Code] ....
The output when running the above is:
1) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6dfaa767] added at 0 }
2) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6aa2c411] added at 1 }
[Code] ....
The behavior is obviously a lot different than when I'm working with the control in Scene Builder. What Scene Builder is doing to change the behavior of my Card control so much? Does my Card control break some rule(s) I'm not aware of?
I'm using Scene Builder 2.0 and have added an ImageView to the parent AnchorPane. I've added my PNG files for the app icon and the various buttons. I select the ImageView in Scene Builder and then crawl the filesystem to the project package folder and select the PNG for the Image. The assigned image is displayed in the Imageview in Scene Builder in both design mode and Preview mode.
While everything else shows up properly when the app is executed, the image assigned to the ImageView does not display.
With JSP can do? How do it? or exist other way? or: [URL] ....
I tested (i need some configuration): [URL] .... but this method download the jar file (and other libraries) right? and the program act same as a Desktop app, right?
I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language. Here is the start method to show the stage.
So it seems to reason that many JavaFX applications will want to dynamically change CSS styles. Is the best way to do this via the <node>.getStyleClass().add("classname")? The underlying data structure is an observable list. So lets say one has 5 styles that simply change the fill color of a circle to 5 different colors respectively. So if I have a condition in which I want to dynamically apply 1 of these 5 styles, the way I currently do this is by defining all 5 styles as strings in a list using a static initializer, then I call <node>.getStyleClass().removeAll(list), then getStyleClass().add("classname"). I do this to avoid adding the same style over and over and inflating the underlying list. Is this the correct way to manage dynamic CSS styles?
So I know there is a few different way to implement a splash screen. My app has definitely gotten larger over the last few months of development and I have noticed there is about a 5 second delay between when I run the application to when I see the main stage. I was thinking a splash screen would be nice to fill this time period. I have not had time to prototype using a Preloader and I fear that using an alternate, lightweight stage on startup would still take too long of a delay. I was actually thinking that using the nice and simple JVM argument "-splash:<image name>" would be simple, easy and effective. Unfortunately when I try to do this, the splash screen comes up but never goes away.
I'm making a game of checkers for my A2 Computing coursework which is due in within a week. I have completely finished the game, and only thing I have left to do is connect the two JPanels together via a CardLayout that I have made. However I am unsure how to do so
I have kept the code I am displaying to a minimal, hence I have removed all the action listeners for my buttons, anyway the problem I have is that, I would like it so that when the user clicks on the 'Multiplayer' button which is the array button ourButtons[1], it will then transition into my main game screen so that the user can then play a game of checkers.
Here is the main important GUI from my CheckerBoard class:
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class CheckerBoard extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseListener { // Main routine that opens an Applet that shows a CheckerBoard public static void main(String[] args) { new CLayout();
I am doing an online course in Java. Mainly for Windows Applications using Eclipse.In the course that I m doing the Instructor has said that most Java programmers dont bother with GUI builders and tend to hand code everyhing. Is this correct? I ask because my previous language I made good use of a GUI builder due to its ease and speed.
Is this because the code is more stable than the generated code offered by GUI builders in Java or is it just better to have full control and to gain a better understanding on how it all works with the layout managers?
I'm trying to get my components to align in the proper position but I'm having no luck what so ever. I have my code and I've attached an image of my window builder.
I want build to build a website buider in java that contains drag & drop functionality for editing templates of websitesI need to build a replica of the site URL....I want to know what framework would i use for building this in java whether it shuold be swings,awt or some other i need to integerate in java like flex or something.how to get started with this.
I am writing a ComputerBaseTest application with Netbeans. I have each question on a panel and I want the questions(panels) to be switched, viewing the previous and the next question on a single frame, but I do not know how.
I only understand frame switching if each questn is to be on a frame but each score on each question (frame) do not sum up to give the overall score at the end of the test. Using multi-frame shows a sign of bad programming.
In the header I have a combo list. At each change in value in the combo list I have an Ajax request that updates the data in the Body. So far everything is working properly. Now the home screen's structure should be change when the value of combo list change. To do this I have :
- 1 ManagedBean HomeBean that manage the home - 1 ManagedBean HeaderBean that manage the header - 2 object HomeScreen1.java and HomeScreen2.java that allows me to valued data from each screen - 2 services HomeScreen1Loader.java and HomeScreen2Loader.java that manage loading of each type of screen - 1 template home.xhtml - 2 fichier home1.xhtml et home2.xhtml
When I log in to the application, I get the good page corresponding (Element type 1 => home page 1). But when I select a type 2 item, the actionListener methode is execute, ManagedBean's data was updated (for type 2 screen) , but the page does not updated. What do you do ?
I was working on adding a selector on the screen. Searching for code, I found something that some created better than I ever could. I'm trying to integrate it into my code.
I have a program that is pretty MVC.
I'm in my controller class and I'm calling this code:
java - Drawing a bounding rectangle to select what area to record - Stack Overflow
I've changed it to a runnable and called a wait after I called this class, but it still continues on to the next line.
I'm thinking I'll have to either create a super controller (one that manages two controllers and have a multiple set of views and models) because I'll have multiple views or I'll have to figure out how to wait for it to finish as a thread. As mentioned above, wait() doesn't work.
This is the code in my controller after I changed it back from a Runnable:
SelectionRectangle m_rect = new SelectionRectangle(); //Thread m_thread = new Thread(m_rect); //m_thread.start(); TopLeft = m_rect.getTopLeft(); BottomRight = m_rect.getBottomRight(); C_view.setText(TopLeft.toString());
I'm having an issue with a swing application I'm working on. Java version is 4 (I know...). I have a main screen panel with multiple sub-panels (rows). Each of these row panels contains an additional 2 sub-panels. One of these 2 sub-panels contains buttons. When 1 button is pressed, I want to disable all of the buttons on-screen (or any other way of blocking user input) until a background event finishes. The row panels do not know about each other.
The first thing I have tried doing is, when a button is pressed, getting the parent. Using the parent I then iterate through its components, and so on until I'm iterating through the buttons. For each button, I am doing a .setEnabled(false); However, this does not work, why. I've also tried wrapping this process in SwingUtilities.invokeLater() out of desperation, but that didn't work either.
What would be the cleanest way to disable all buttons? Or block all user input? I've also tried adding an opaque dialog which hasn't worked. Last resort would be maintaining some sort of button list, but I'd rather not.
