JavaFX 2 as a Maven dependency [duplicate]

Answer 1

The article of Sergey suggests to add javafx as a system dependency, which should not be used. Instead, you can include the following in your POM to install javafx automatically.

    
        install-javafx
        
            
                
                    org.apache.maven.plugins
                    maven-install-plugin
                    2.3.1
                    
                        
                            install-javafx
                            
                                install-file
                            
                            validate
                            
                                ${jfx-runtime}/lib/jfxrt.jar
                                javafx
                                javafx
                                ${jfx-version}
                                jar
                                ${jfx-runtime}/../docs/api.zip
                        
                            
                        
                    
                                    
                
                    maven-resources-plugin
                    
                        
                            install-javafx-bin
                            validate
                            
                                copy-resources
                            
                            
                                ${settings.localRepository}/javafx/javafx
                                false
                                
                                    
                                        ${jfx-runtime}
                                        
                                            bin/*.dll   
                                        
                                    
                                              
                                        
                        
                    
                
                
        
    

If you want to have api docs installed, zip the contents of of the docs/api folder to docs/api.zip. Now you just have to run maven, with the profile activated and the jfx-runtime and jfx-version properties set.
