Insert TornadoFx in Kotlin project

Question

I'm having some trouble on putting tornadoFx in my project. I'm using the last version of IntellIj, Kotlin and I'm also downloading tornadoFx from here:

TornadoFxGitLink

I added the pom file to Maven and I already tried to change a few things that Readme of tornado recommended to me like use 1.1 kotlin version or updating IDE.

The thing is that when I create a TornadoFx file in the project and I try to build, these error appears:

import tornado.fx is apparently an unresolved reference

Can someone explain why is this happening or why these errors normally appear? Thanks in advance, I'm open to all questions due to my bad english.

Answer 1

That import is not needed or at all pointing to anything TornadoFX related. The only import you need for the most part is import tornadofx.* .

Install the TornadoFX IDEA plugin, and it will add the import for you. You should also start be reading the guide .

You should not be downloading TornadoFX manually, use Maven or Gradle to import the dependencies.

I recommend trying out TornadoFX in a simple standalone project first, for example by creating a template project using the TornadoFX IDEA Plugin. After you understand the basics you can revisit integrating it into an existing application.
