JavaFX，Netbeans本机打包和在命令行上打印

Question

I am writing a JavaFX application which I deploy directly via Netbeans: right click on project->package as->image only .

This works perfectly fine. I need to implement a command line interface with several parameters and of course I want a '-h' option that prints the help onto the command line.

I'm just using System.out.println() , nothing special.

This works totally fine as long as I do not deploy my code. Once I create the .exe file my output will no longer show any output on the console.

What is happening in the background when deploying and how is it possible to get my output to the console?

I'm using Netbeans 8.2 and Java8.

Answer 1

This is not possible without a selfbuild executable ;)

The native launcher/executable does not work that way, this is because windows-executables include whether they are CLI-applications or GUI-applications.

For a more detailed answer see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34476175/1961102

the generated EXE-file is a simple windows-executable, no cli-executable as seen in the launcher-source-code , that is the reason you dont see any console-output but having the result when pipelining into some file.
