Of course there is a need and possibility to pass parameters to JavaFX application.

I did it to run my JavaFX client from different places, where different network configurations are required (direct or via proxy). Not to make instant changes in code, I implemented several network configurations to be chosen from in application run command with parameter like --configurationIndex=1. The default code value is 0.

List parameters;
int parameterIndex;
String parameter;

parameters =
  getParameters().getRaw();

for (parameterIndex = 0;
  parameterIndex < parameters.size();
  parameterIndex++) {

  parameter =
    parameters.get(
      parameterIndex);

  if (parameter.contains("configurationIndex")) {
    configurationIndex =
      Integer.valueOf(
        parameters.get(parameterIndex).
        split("=")[1]);
  }
}

In Netbeans you can set this parameter for debugging need directly on your project: Project - Properties - Run - Parameters - insert --configurationIndex=1 into field.
