I built a simple program with javafx and have got to the part of deploying the app for use outside of intelliJ(community edition). I cant seem to figure out why the method isnt being invoked when i try launching the exe outside of the IDE.It shows two alert boxes, the first says Error invoking method, the second afterwards says Failed to launch JVM after I try and open the exe from explorer.
package sample;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.PasswordField;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
primaryStage.setTitle("Welcome");
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
primaryStage.show();
GridPane grid = new GridPane();
grid.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
grid.setHgap(10);
grid.setVgap(10);
grid.setPadding(new Insets(25, 25, 25, 25));
//Adding text labels and text fields
Text sceneTitle = new Text("Welcome");
sceneTitle.setId("welcome-text");
grid.add(sceneTitle, 0, 0,2, 1);
TextField userTextField = new TextField();
grid.add(userTextField, 1,1);
Label userName = new Label("User Name: ");
grid.add(userName, 0 ,1);
Label pw = new Label("Password: ");
grid.add(pw, 0,2);
PasswordField pwBox = new PasswordField();
grid.add(pwBox,1,2);
//grid lines for debugging
grid.setGridLinesVisible(false);
//grid lines for debugging
Button btn = new Button("Sign In");
HBox hbBtn = new HBox(10);
hbBtn.setAlignment(Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT);
hbBtn.getChildren().add(btn);
grid.add(hbBtn, 1,4);
final Text actionTarget = new Text();
grid.add(actionTarget,1,6);
btn.setOnAction(e -> {actionTarget.setText("Sign In button
Pressed");});
actionTarget.setId("actiontarget");
Scene scene = new Scene(grid, 300, 275);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
//Initialize sytlesheets variable
scene.getStylesheets().add(Main.class.getResource("Login.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.show();
}
}
This is my controller class (lol)
package sample;
public class Controller {
}
and finally... my fxml
<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<GridPane fx:controller="sample.Controller"
xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" hgap="10" vgap="10">
</GridPane>
the last thing i have to help out is this here but im not sure how to read it to get to the base of the issue...
