this is basically a question on StackOverflow Scene.getStylesheets().add() not working inside jar file, is there any better approach to automate the process ?

Hello,
I'm trying to use your plugin in my project but I have the same issue in packaging as Maven Assembly described here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-360

I have spring.handlers and spring.chemas in 2 dependencies spring-context.jar and spring-beans which get overwritten when packaging, so the application is unable to start.

Can you do something about it, like maven-shade-plugin does?

Hello,
first of all thank you for this great plugin!
I'm trying to generate a keystore with mvn jfx:generate-key-store but it fails. Can't figure out if I'm missing something in the POM or if this is a "relevant" bug...

Thanks a lot!

Here is the command line (in my project base directory):

mvn jfx:generate-key-store -DcertDomain=my.domain -DcertCountry=myCountry -DcertOrg=myOrg -DcertState=myState

(By the way, would it be possible to choose the validity period please?)

Here is the relevant part of my POM:

com.zenjava
javafx-maven-plugin
2.0


create-final-jar
package

web




myOrg
path.to.my.MainClass


all-permissions

And here is (a piece of) the error message a got:

Failed to execute goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:2.0:generate-key-store
(default-cli) on project myProject: Unable to execute mojo: Execution null of goal org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-mav
en-plugin:1.2:generateKeyPair failed: Unable to load the mojo 'generateKeyPair' (or one of its required components) from the plugin 'org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-maven-plugin:1.2': com.google.inject.Prov
isionException: Guice provision errors:

   while locating org.codehaus.mojo.keytool.DefaultKeyTool
   at ClassRealm[plugin>org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-maven-plugin:1.2, parent: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@5c647e05]

How does the plugin find the current version of Java (JRE)?

If I run the Java control panel I only see Java 7. If I run "java -version" from the command line I get this:

java version "1.7.0_10-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_10-ea-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

If I run the fix-classpath, I get this:

This action will change the runtime classpath for your JRE installed at '/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home' to include JavaFX. All Java applications (not just this one) using this JRE will have the JavaFX runtime include on their path. Generally this is pretty safe but if you are unsure how your applications may be affected you should not do this.

There may be something strange about this machine since moving from Apple to Oracle-distributed Java.

Hi,

I have my application pom configured like so:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
           <goals>
                <goal>native</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <vendor>SomeApp</vendor>
        <mainClass>someapp.Application</mainClass>
        <jvmProperties>
            <twitter4j.oauth.consumerKey>${consumerKey}</twitter4j.oauth.consumerKey>
            <twitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret>${consumerSecret}</twitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret>
        </jvmProperties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The problem is that declared jvm parameters are not set in during application runtime wrapped in native bundle.

Launching my application like so java -jar someApp.jar -Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerKey=${consumerKey} -Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret=${consumerSecret} have no problems so I suppose that there's something wrong in jvm properties setting procedure.

A feature to add a license file would be great. This could be either by default a file named "license.txt", or a configurable name or maybe even a configuration section to allow specifying arbitrary resource file.

I think that the license fill can be added like this:
https://github.com/zonski/javafx-maven-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/zenjava/javafx/maven/plugin/NativeMojo.java
somewhere add:

deployParams.addResource(jfxAppOutputDir (?), licenseFilePath, DeployResource.Type.license);

Alternatively, you could allow any resource file to be added via the pom, e.g. like this:

<resources>
   <resource>
      <file>${project.basedir}/src/main/deploy/license.txt</file>
      <type>license</type>
   </resource>
</resource>

I believe a plugin configuration option that permits the change of the dependencies in MANIFEST.MF file, like in maven-jar-plugin, could add more flexibility to the generated jar file. Something like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <configuration>
             <mainClass>com.hrgi.pdv.App</mainClass>
             <jfxClasspathPrefix>../lib/</jfxClasspathPrefix>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Great work on the plugin. I intend to use it for a JavaFX app that will be embedded in the browser. I need to trigger the FX deployment code to generate the right tags in the JNLP file for this etc. Right now I can do this manually, but it would be great if the plugin had support for this (in addition to standalone, web start, .bat., etc.).

Example of some of the JNLP code that is generated:

`<applet-desc  width="800" height="600" main-class="com.javafx.main.NoJavaFXFallback" name="MyFunApp" >
<param name="requiredFXVersion" value="2.2+"/>
</applet-desc>
<jfx:javafx-desc  width="800" height="600" main-class="myfunapp.Main"  name="MyFunApp" />`

I am getting some errors, while running the App in Windows XP:

Project Sources are here: https://github.com/phaus/UltimateStatus
Created Bundles can be found here: https://cleopatra.consolving.de/jenkins/job/de.javastream.ultimatestatus/

When using the jfx plugin from a POM project that aggregates together others, the JarMojo fails because target/classes does not exist. The target/classes path should not be appended to the resources unless it exists.

runtime scoped dependencies are not packaged into the .jar file like compile scoped ones.
The *-jfx.jar file instead contains also the runtime dependencies, so you are forced to set to "provided" the scope if you want to include them.

I'm trying to use your plugin to generate native binaries for a project of mine (using Java 8) and it's working perfectly on Mac but not on Windows. When I run the Windows binary, it'll open the main page, but clicking a button that opens a new window doesn't work.

My guess is that it's choking on the external library that the button calls, because that's the first time the program uses any external software. I've confirmed that the JAR for that library is in the appropriate lib folder.

Do you have any recommendations? Is this a known issue?

The project I'm referring to is at https://github.com/cirdles/topsoil and the pom version that uses your plugin is currently HEAD on dev.

Hi,

JavaFX maven plugin is very usefull but some documentations are missing in the wiki like in "Building a webstart bundle" page. I would like to build a webstart app with maven but I don't know how to create a custom template.

Many thanks

Going through your steps I end up with this in the sample pom.xml:

com.zenjava
javafx-maven-plugin
1.2

Shouldn't that be 1.3 and not 1.2?

Hi, I am currently passing the JVM param -Xmx8G to my application as a VM Option in Intellij.

What is the correct way to do this in Maven? I've currently got this configured, but it's not being recognised...

            <configuration>
                <mainClass>foo</mainClass>
                <vendor>Bar</vendor>
                <nativeReleaseVersion>1.0</nativeReleaseVersion>
                <jvmProperties>
                    <Xmx>8G</Xmx>
                </jvmProperties>
            </configuration>

Any thoughts?

If your project has no dependencies, the following error occurs for "jfx:web":

...

java.io.FileNotFoundException: ${project.build.directory}\jfx\web\lib (Can not find the file specified)

Hi,

it would be nice to have the option to add individual entries to the generated Manifest.
(Like in the maven-jar-plugin)
e.g.:
Something like this

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <archive>
      <manifestEntries>
        <SplashScreen-Image>splash.png</SplashScreen-Image>
      </manifestEntries>
    </archive>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Would produce a mainfest entry of:
SplashScreen-Image: splash.png

I asume it is possible to do with
com.sun.javafx.tools.packager.CreateJarParams.setManifestAttrs(Map<String, String> manifestAttrs)

If I get some time the weekend I might supply a patch

When generating a native application (we use Windows), the given <jreArgs> in the configuration are completely ignored. This is a real showstopper for us, since we have to increase the standard heap space and pass other parameters as well.
As far as I understand, the JavaFXPackager does support custom JVM arguments, so this should be possible from within this plugin, too.

Hi,

is it possible to disable the CSS -> BSS-Conversion when building a jar with the plugin?

I get a problem with relative paths for images in bss-files. After the conversion the bss-file contains an absolute path to the location of the stylesheet in my workspace.
So it's not possible to install the app to another pc.

Hi Zonski,

First, Thanks for your brilliant work!
I'm working with jdk 1.7.0_13 on windows 7 64 bits.
mvn jfx:build-webstart doesn't work when signing the jar but it works without. It seems related to my java version.
Here is the error returned:
Invocation of JavaFX method 'signJar' failed with an error. It's possible this plugin is not compatible with the version of JavaFX you are using. InvocationTargetException:

Do I have to install jdk 7 update 6 to make it work?

Cheers

I have tried to customize main jar name with but now, native packaging stage is skipping due to the following:

Skip [Windows Application Bundler] due to [Main application jar is missing.]
[Make sure to use fx:jar task to create main application jar.]

However it works if you specify the name with the ".jar" extension

I need to pass forward the maven version number into the running application. The maven-jar-plugin allows me to insert these records into the jar using addDefaultImplementationEntries. However these entries don't make it into the javafx manifest file. I assume you are possibly generating the manifest file from scratch? Is there a way to get these parameters through?

I have been using your plugin successfully with javafx/netbeans up until the release of 1.7.0_40. Now that I have installed that version of java, I can no longer build and run applications that worked perfectly well before. Inside of NetBeans I get unsatisfied linker errors, and when running packaged apps built against the u25 release (executed with u40 java) I get some type of unrecoverable execution error. I'm thinking that something in the packaging has changed, but I'm in a bind as some users in our company have started upgrading to u40, and it's breaking things. Help, please!

Hi, I have a JavaFX application that I package with javafx-maven-plugin, but now I'm trying to obfuscate the code.

To achieve this I use an ant task using ProGuard, but my problem is that I couldn't find a way to call this obfuscation task between the jfx:jar and the jfx:native goals, both of them are called on package phase and the jfx:native calls always to jfx:jar, so I cannot use mvn jfx:jar antrun:run jfx:native.

My current workaround is to call jfx:jar and with ant I make the obfuscation and the native building, but I don't like too much this approach.

Is there any way to execute "something" between jar and native goals ?

Can be possible to avoid to launch the jfx:jar from jfx:native if jar file exists ? We always can launch a "clean jfx:native" if we want a clean building.

Hello.

I've followed the tutorial at http://zenjava.com/javafx/maven/web-bundle.html# in order to create a webstarter of my app, and when I try to run it with the generated HTML I get this error: Missing Application-Name manifest attribute

I checked the manifest file in my JAR and it doesnt have the application-name defined. How can I add it with maven?

Thanks!

Currently, I can't find any way of setting a fallback class.

This could be accomplished with CreateJarParams.setFallback(String fallback)

Also, the following should be noted from the source of PackagerLib.packageAsJar(CreateJarParams createJarParams):

//Default fallback class uses "private" interface to
// get additional error paramters. Do not add it to manifest
// explicitly to avoid treating it as custom
if (createJarParams.fallbackClass != null && 
        !createJarParams.defaultFallbackApp.equals(
        createJarParams.fallbackClass)) {
    attr.put(new Attributes.Name("JavaFX-Fallback-Class"), 
            createJarParams.fallbackClass);
}

Trying to run the plugin I ran into the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.3:build-jar (build-jar) on project epik-protocol-tools: The parameters 'vendor' for goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.3:build-jar are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

By looking at the source code I figured out that I should set /project/organization/name in the POM, but that wasn't obvious and I didn't see it documented anywhere.

Apache Maven 3.1 has just been released ( altho the release isn't officially published yet ) which makes a change from using Sonatype Aether to using Eclipse Aether, which incurs package renames, and a few API changes.

A couple of issues:
JSE1.7 u25+_ requires new attributes on jar signing meaning that running an JNLP will give errors "Missing Permissions manifest attribute for {jarfile}". See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/no_redeploy.html

Secondly, field values in the JNLP are missing in the jfx config e.g. . Also, I'm not seeing migrate from the main .pom to the JNLP.

Thanks for this great plug in!

First of all: Thank you for this great plugin!

For customizing the installation-process of the Installer generated by Inno Setup (e.g. licence, desktop Icon, installation folder) it would be very useful to pass a script-file to Inno Setup.

Looking into the (icon-) paths if there exists a script-file might be a good idea:
Windows: src/main/deploy/package/windows/[project-final-name].iss
Mac: src/main/deploy/package/macosx/[project-final-name].iss

When I use the javafx-maven-plugin with the latest 8u20 b05 Build, I get:

It looks like they removed the entire bundling API from JavaFX and replaced it with the "Packager API". I didn't look into it any further, maybe this is a false alarm. Reverting to JDK8 b132 (the GA release) resolves the problem for me. It would be great if the javafx-maven-plugin could be used also with future JDK versions.

Hi. I'm building a JavaFX application using Maven with this plugin. Building an executable jar works fine. Building a native executable succeeds, but when I run the Application I get a few errors:

1. "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Click OK to...
2. "Error loading jvm.dll" Click OK to...
3. "Failed to launch JVM"

The JVM is 1.7.0_51 (64 bit) on Windows 7.

Any thoughts?

After running the maven command as explained, it fails as follows:

Any idea? Thanks

Is this the correct way to pass jvmArgs?
Can you please update the jvmArgs Documentation.

The tag "jvmArg" should at least be mentioned.

I am trying to use zonski's javafx-maven-plugin, however when executing

mvn com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.2:fix-classpath

(more details on Fixing the JRE classpath) I get one warning and one error:

I am placing my icon (icon.png) and splash (splash.jpg) into the correct template directories.

When I run the command

mvn -e -X jfx:build-webstart -DskipTests

The output indicates that the icon file is found.
Using icon file at 'C:...\src\main\deploy\icon.png'

But is is not copied into the output directory.

Inspecting the code in AbstractBundleMojo.java, you are setting the local variable icon to the class level defined icon and then setting the local icon. When the subclass for this class called BuildWebstartMojo.java attempts to use the class level icon variable, it is still null. Your code checks for null and then does nothing, no icon file is copied.

The fix for this is to delete the lines

    File icon = this.icon;

    File splashImage = this.splashImage;

from AbstractBundleMojo.java.

I hope you can make a new revision for me as we are deploying our software by the end of April.

Sincerely,

Brian

I've a little JavaFX app and I use Maven for managing the dependencies thanks to the javafx-maven-plugin.

I want to use the option who will build a native installer based on the settings (mvn jfx:build-native) using InnoSetup (on windows)

That's work pretty well but I can't find where I can specify all the Inno Setup options (like those visible here : http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setup_setupiconfile). Did I have to add something on my pom ? Did I have to create a .iss file ? If yes, how to specify the link to this file ?

Any idea ?

One of the more frustrating aspects of trying to use the JavaFX packaging tools with Maven is overriding the configuration resources. Part of the issue has to do with figuring out how to put these resources on the Maven->Ant->javafxpackager classpath. Adding a capability for providing OS specific (or crossplatform?) application icons via the plugin configuration would be a giant step in the direction of making the Maven+JavaFX pairing easier to deal with.

Kudos on the "fix classpath" goal, btw.

Tom Schindl has demonstrated that it's possible to compile fxml file (and even to convert them as plain old java UI class).

http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2013/08/29/convert-fxml-to-java-as-part-of-the-build/

It's a alpha release, but it will sound great if we can add this feature to this maven plugin.

In a second time we can improve fxml generated java classes to add some features.

Parameter should be created to allow native bundle creation with lib folder. Dependent jars should be placed into lib folder. In the current version 1.5 one merged jar is created it causes serious problems, file overrides, file conflicts with the same name in the same folder between jars. Final solutions should be a parameter to allow bundle creation with lib folder.

Due to changes in JDK 7u40, the javafx-maven-plugin seems to be unable to execute jfx:run. I successfully tested the javafx-maven-plugin using JDK 7u21.

I received the following error message using jfx:run on Mac OS X:

We should be able to customize the MSI installer as mentioned in the JavaFX documentation. See http://stackoverflow.com/q/18667061/14731 for more information.

There is some problem when bilding native app on Mac OS. First the application created is called Null.app and then the creation of the DMG image file fail with the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.3:build-native (default-cli) on project MyTestApp: Invocation of JavaFX method 'generateDeploymentPackages' failed with an error. It's possible this plugin is not compatible with the version of JavaFX you are using. InvocationTargetException: NullPointerException -> [Help 1]

But the Application (called Null.app) that is created in the "bundles" directory work perfectly!

On Mac OS you don't need any extra tools to create the dmg image file. Using the Ant method on the same project works perfectly. (But I hate Ant!!)

There's a minor problem in the default html template for WebStart :
The javafx version shouldn't be suffixed with "+" as the app.jfxVersion is already 2.2.+

And there's a major problem :
The url parameter is kept to ${app.jnlpFileName} instead of be replacer by the template processor engine. In fact, the class ApplicationProfile does not contain the attribute jnlpFileName at all.

Below is the output from running mvn archetype:generate com.zenjava:javafx-basic-archetype:1.3
