# JavaFX Project Template

This is a non-modular, Gradle-based project skeleton for creating JavaFX applications.

It uses `JavaFX 20.0.2`, and includes the [Gradle Wrapper](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html) (no need to install Gradle locally).

## Features

- JavaFX-aware coding assistance (code completion, search, navigation in JavaFX-specific source files)

- Logging with [Logback](https://logback.qos.ch/).

- Support for FXML.

- Access to JavaFX's JavaDoc from within your IDE.

## How Do I Use this Project Template

1. Download this repository as `.zip` file.

2. Unzip the downloaded `javafx-template-main.zip` file.

3. Add the extracted files to your GitHub repo (if you already have one)

4. Open the project with NetBeans

5. Using NetBeans, build the project to download/resolve the dependencies

6. Change the project name in `settings.gradle`

7. Rename the default Java package `edu.vanier.template` to `edu.vanier.projectname` in `MainApp.java` and `MainAppFXMLController.java`.

8. Change the value of the `mainClass` class property in `build.gradle`. A fully-qualified name of the class containing the main method that you want to run must be supplied.

## How Do I Run Multiple Main Classes?

If you have a project that contains multiple `main` methods, then  you need to change the value of the `mainClass` property in the `build.gradle` file. The fully-qualified name of the class that contains the main method to be executed  must be specified.

The `mainClass` property is declared in the application section (shown below). Note that `//` can be used for inserting a comment line.

```gradle

application {

   mainClass = 'edu.vanier.template.MainApp'

   //mainClass = 'edu.vanier.tests.Driver'

}

```

## NetBeans

This project template was tested with `NetBeans 17` and `JDK 18`.
