Javafx application cannot find the liberay

Question

In my eclipse i have followed the following steps:

1. New -> Other -> Javafx project

2. Name the project ie "TestJavaFx"

3. Create new class "Main"

write the following code:

    public class Main extends Application{

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

And i get an error saying:

Application cannot be resolved to a type

And there is no import.

it looks like i don't have the lib. But how can i create a new Javafx project without having the lib?

How do i fix this?

Answer 1

First in Eclipse you need add jfxrt.jar to project's libraries (It is located in Jre lib folder).

Then you need to override Application's abstract method start

public void start(Stage primaryStage) { 
    primaryStage.show();
}

Here is a minimal example:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
