JavaFX Preloader and Netbeans

Question

I am using the standard JavaFX preloader templete. But I am not sure how to link it to my JavaFX program.

public class FXPreloader extends Preloader {

    ProgressBar bar;
    Stage stage;
   .......
}

And here is my Main

public class CIDCV extends Application {

 @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Main.fxml"));
        Controller.stage=primaryStage;
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        Controller.stage.setScene(scene);
        Controller.stage.setResizable(false);
        Controller.stage.show();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      launch(args);
    }

}

All what I am looking for is a splash screen to indicate the program is starting.

Select the Application project
Right-click for pop-up menu
Select Properties in pop-up menu.
Select Run in the Categories on the left side of dialog.
Click the circled Browse button to select the project of your preloader.

Note for a small project locally the preloader might run so fast you can't even see it. I put in a Thread.sleep(1000) in handleProgressNotification() just to make sure I could see it.

See the section titled 9.2.1 Packaging a Preloader Application in NetBeans IDE in https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/preloaders.htm

Thanks, do you know how can I make it transparent scene instead of a while box? – Moe Nov 13 '15 at 20:12
I haven't tried it but you might try using stage.setOpacity(...) in the preloader's start function. – WillShackleford Nov 13 '15 at 22:17
