USB application in JavaFX

Hi all,
I am trying to build a cross platform (vista, xp, mac
computers for now) and mobile phone in the future. The
application needs to run from a usb flash drive.
Is this something I can do with JavaFX? Currently I am
thinking of a Swing application with an embedded jre (in the
flash drive).
Any thoughts? suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
I think you should write a library in c or c ++ for your specific OS, after you can use it throw JNI (java native interface) or simplier JNA (java native access).
For Windows / Linux cross platform library you can use MinGW ang gcc with netbeans c++ pack, it's working quite good -), don't know on Solaris and Mac.
I'd use it, tell me if you need more info.
Bye!

so i use jre7 run the application get this result.
how could i solve this problem?

Netbeans Platform Application and JavaFX CSS API

I'm using JavaFX in my Netbeans Platform Application. I load JavaFX scene with next code:
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
                @Override
                public void run()
                    javaFxPanel.setSize(getSize());
                    add(javaFxPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                                Group branchNode = new Group();
                                Scene scene = new Scene(branchNode);
                                try{
                                    scene.getStylesheets().add("C:\\Xlab\\pandora\\branches\\simon-welcome-screen\\TraineeGuiApp\\modules\\ui\\welcomescreen\\main.css");
                                catch(Exception e)
                                   Exceptions.printStackTrace(e);
                                Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100,100);
                                rect.setLayoutX(50);
                                rect.setLayoutY(50);
                                rect.getStyleClass().add("my-rect");
                                ((Group)scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(rect);
                                // Add scene to panel
                                javaFxPanel.setScene(scene);
                                javaFxPanel.setVisible(true);
                    //Application.launch(FXApplication.class, null);
            });As you can see i provide absolute path to my css file. CSS file and class that i want to use it from are in same package. I also tried providing just a "main.css" string to scene.getStylesheets().add("main.css"); method.
I have no idea why this is not working. Any suggestions?
Edited by: user8867321 on 1.9.2011 9:56

Admittedly, the stylesheet path handling is pretty bad. If you can see the .css file in your browser, then you have a valid URL. You can also use Class.getResource("blah").toExternalForm() to get the right URL string. For example, if I have my .css file in the same directory as Main.java, then I could do scene.getStylesheets().add(Main.class.getResource("sample.css").toExternalForm());

CDC Application with JavaFX

Hello,
I am trying to embed a JavaFX scene in swing JComponent as shown below:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import org.jfxtras.scene.SceneToJComponent;
public class Main extends JFrame {
public static JTextField tf = new JTextField("JavaFX for SWING");
public Main() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setTitle("JavaFX in SWING Test");
Container container = getContentPane();
container.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
String sceneClass = "cdcapplication13.MyScene";
JComponent myScene = SceneToJComponent.loadScene(sceneClass);
JLabel label = new JLabel(" Below is a JavaFX Animation: ");
container.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
container.add(myScene, BorderLayout.CENTER);
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
tf.setColumns(28);
p.add(tf);
p.add(new JButton("SWING Button"));
container.add(p, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
pack();
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new Main().setVisible(true);
In the above cdcapplication13.MyScene is my JavaFX scene class. The above worksfine is a desktop application.

Calling applications from javafx

hi,
how to call other application such as winamp, firefox, etc from javafx.

Have a look at the documentation of java.lang.ProcessBuilder [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html]
General pointer for processes in Java:
- you DO need to consume the content of the standard output and error output (if any) in order for your app to execute correctly.
- "consuming" means empting their content (getting rid of it, saving it to a log, exporting it to the GUI, whatever). Can be done in separate Thread or task (see FX pointers below).
- standard ouput stream is returned by getInputStream() in the Process class (I know the name is misleading but from Java's point of view, the process' output is an input stream).
- error ouput stream is returned by getErrorStream() in the Process class (same)
Pointers for processes in JavaFX:
- use javafx.async.JavaTaskBase and javafx.async.RunnableFuture to create an async FX task to start & launch the process and to consume its streams.

No problem.
Make sure your resources are set at the proper location. Could be that tje jni.jar is under a 'lib' folder?
Normally you don't have to worry about deployment a lot if you are using like Netbeans 7.2 or higher.
When you press 'Clean and build' it creates your deployed files in the 'dist' folder.
You can change specification by adapting the build.xml file.
Of course lot of different possibilities are available for deployment!
You can find lot of info here:
[http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm|http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm]
Important to know is if you want to work with
- a standalone application (self-contained or not)
- with webstart
- or with applets
(In my case I'm using webstart, but also Self-Contained Application Packaging (jre is also installed!)

How to pass Objects from Java App to JavaFX Application

Hello,
New to the JavaFX. I have a Java Swing Application. I am trying to use the TreeViewer in JavaFX since it seems to be a bit better to use and less confusing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have my Java app calling my treeviewer JavaFX as

public class EPMFrame extends JFrame {
Customer _custObj
private void categoryAction(ActionEvent e)   // method called by Toolbar
        ocsCategoryViewer ocsFX;    //javaFX treeviewer
        ocsFX = new ocsCategoryViewer();    // need to pass in the Customer Object to this Not seeing how to do it.
                                              // tried ocsFX = new ocsCategoryViewer(_custObj) ;    nothing happened even when set this as a string with a value
public class ocsCategoryViewer extends Application {

     TreeItem <String> root , subcat;
TreeItem <String> root = new TreeItem <String> ("/");
        root.setExpanded(true);
         ocsTree = new TreeView <String> (root);
         buildTree();     // this uses the Customer Object.

JavaFX and Swing integration is documented by Oracle - make sure you understand that before doing further development.
What are you really trying to do? The answer to your question depends on the approach you are taking (which I can't really work out from your question). You will be doing one of:
1. Run your Swing application and your JavaFX application as different processes and communicate between them.
This is the case if you have both a Swing application with a main which you launch (e.g. java MySwingApp) and JavaFX application which extends application which you launch independently (e.g. java MyJavaFXApp).
You will need to do something like open a client/server network socket between the applications and send the data between them.
2. Run a Swing application with embedded JavaFX components.
So you just run java MySwingApp.
You use a JFXPanel, which is "a component to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications."
3. Run a Java application with embedded Swing components.
So you just run java MyJavaFXApp.
You use a SwingNode, which is "used to embed a Swing content into a JavaFX application".
My recommendation is:
a. Don't use approach number one and have separate apps written in Swing and Java - that would be pretty complicated and unwarranted for almost all applications.
b. Don't mix the two toolkits unless you really need to. An example of a real need is that you have a huge swing app based upon the NetBeans platform and you want to embed a couple of JavaFX graphs in there. But if your application is only pretty small (e.g., it took less than a month to write), just choose one toolkit or the other and implement your application entirely in that toolkit. If your entire application is in Swing and you are just using JavaFX because you think its TreeView is easier to program, don't do that; either learn how to use Swing's tree control and use that or rewrite your entire application in JavaFX. Reasons for my suggestion are listed here: JavaFX Tip 9: Do Not Mix Swing / JavaFX
c. If you do need to mix the two toolkits, the answer of which approach to use will be obvious. If you have a huge Swing app and want to embed one or two JavaFX components in it, then use JFXPanel. If you have a huge JavaFX app and want to embed one or two Swing components in it, use a SwingNode. Once you do start mixing the two toolkits be very careful about thread processing, which you are almost certain screw up at least during development, no matter how an experienced a developer you are. Also sharing the data between the Swing and JavaFX components will be trivial as you are now running everything in the same application within the virtual machine and it is all just Java so you can just pass data around as parameters to constructors and method calls, the same way you usually do in a Java program, you can even use static classes and data references to share data but usually a dependency injection framework is better if you are going to do that - personally I'd just stick to simply passing data through method calls.

Exception ... MyClass is not a subclass of javafx.application.Application

Hi,
I am creating a Java based Framework, with it proper components that i create based on Java FX, so I know that every Class that uses JavaFx should extends "Application", the problem is that this class already extends from another one to verify the Class Diagram consistency "public class ZCPageDesktop extends ZCAbstractPage", now ZCPageDesktop should also extends "Application" to meet with Java FX specification but Multiple extends are not permitted in Java, So what i did is that i Created a Class Member called "private ZCFXApplication fxapp" which is an instance of the class ZCFXApplication that i created and extends "Application", so i redefined the method public void start(Stage primaryStage){/} then i created also another method to simulate the method public static void draw(String []args){ launch(args) // calling launch } all of this is done in my framework implementation, but when i go to the test , called "UserView" in the main i got this message " Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Error: class org.zerocouplage.component.test.view.UserView is not a subclass of javafx.application.Application
     at javafx.application.Application.launch(Application.java:211)
     at org.zerocouplage.component.test.view.UserView.main(UserView.java:57)"
How do i can fix this problem in a way that ZCPageDesktop extends Application, all in respecting the Java FX specification and the non permitted multiple extends ?

Menu Item to exit a JavaFX application

Hi. I'm very new to JavaFX so please forgive what may be an obvious question.
Can anyone provide an example of the code to create a menu entry eg File->Exit that will exit a JavaFX app?
I can create the menus but I don't know how to perform the actual exit.
Do I use the setOnAction method? What code performs the actual closing of the app?
Thankyou.
Tony

Hi. Here is an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
public class MenuIt extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
        final Menu menu = new Menu("File");
        menu.getItems().add(menuItem);
        MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
        menuBar.getMenus().add(menu);
        menuItem.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
                Platform.exit();
        primaryStage.setTitle("Menu sample");
        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        root.getChildren().add(menuBar);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
}

Blog post on JavaFX three-tier application (including database)

Hey guys,
For anyone interested I have just added a post to my series on Building JEE application with JavaFX. The last two posts have covered client-server remoting over HTTP and database access (using JPA/Hibernate and Spring Data). I know there have been questions asked on these two areas in particular in the past, so I though I would post the link here for reference:
http://www.zenjava.com/2012/03/19/javafx-and-persistence-adding-database-support/
If you are looking at building a production grade client-server/database application (the most common type out there these days) you may find this stuff useful.
Enjoy,
zonski

I should mention the company VertigoSoftware that made .NET Pet Shop 4.0;
https://www.vertigo.com/Lab.aspx has a whitepaper link on their site back to Microsoft http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479070.aspx#bdasamppet4_topic4.
I know how to edit web.config and app.config to move the database to another server; Can someone please tell me how to physically separate the "presentation" layer from the "business
logic + data access" layers i.e. onto different servers? I would like to scale out the web.

JNLP-run JavaFX application hangs in full screen on Mac

Hi all,
I am on Mac OS X 10.9 running JDK 7u45.
I have the JNLP file below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/jnlpTester">
<information>
<title>Title</title>
<vendor>Vendor</vendor>
</information>
<resources><jfx:javafx-runtime version="2.1+"/></resources>
<resources><jar href="lib/jnlpTester.jar" main="true"/></resources>
<application-desc main-class="application.JNLPTester"/>
<security><all-permissions/></security>
</jnlp>
The jar file (jnlpTester.jar) contains the following JavaFX application:
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JNLPTester extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = new ListView<>();
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();
The application starts without any problem (see http://tinypic.com/r/29glonq/5). However, when I click on the full screen icon, the application does not go to full screen and the interface hangs (see http://tinypic.com/r/2mwizk/5). When I run the application from my IDE (eclipse) there is no such problem (see http://tinypic.com/r/2gsleep/5).
Would anyone have any idea about this?
Many thanks in advance,
Hayrettin

No it's simple, but it's not exactly what you are looking for. What I use this for is just to be able to watch a video like an .avi on my tv while surfing the web or writing a document. I hook up the computer to the tv via HDMI and then set the screens up in extended mode(not mirroring) then just drag the VLC window to the TV screen and choose VLCs full screen once the video has started. The problem is it still acts like one monitor so if you do a desktop or full screen swipe on the MBP both screens swipe resulting in the video missing from the TV. So, as I said not excatly what you want, but works to some extent.

Is it possible to make a javafx ui application without using layout managers ?

I want to make an user interface application without using layout managers. In my previous attempt i made an application in java swing. There i used the setBounds() function. Is there any function like setBounds() in javafx ?

There really isn't any more to it than that.
Again, I have no idea why you would do things this way (either in JavaFX or in Swing), but:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ManualPositioningExample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final Pane root = new Pane();
        final Button button = new Button("Click me");
        final Label label = new Label("A Label");
        final TextField textField = new TextField();
        root.getChildren().addAll(button, label, textField);
        label.relocate(25, 25);
        textField.relocate(75, 25);
        textField.setPrefSize(100, 20);
        button.relocate(25, 50);
        button.setPrefSize(150, 20);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 200);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
