I ve been migrating all my JavaFX applications to Java 15/JavaFX 15.0.1 to see if there are any pain points or gotchas to be aware of. I particularly wanted to understand how Maven and Gradle handle JavaFX, and how to successfully build and run the applications in IntelliJ IDEA.
In this blog post, I explore the steps taken to upgrade a Spring Boot/Maven/JavaFX application.
Backstory
Once upon a time, in the olden days when we were allowed to physically go to conferences, Josh Long and I decided to co-present at Code One (2018). Obviously, this was going to be a Spring Boot application, and Josh suggested we create a JavaFX front end for it, since that s what I d been using in two previous demos (Java 8 in Anger and Real World Java 9).
