JavaFX Application with Maven in Eclipse

Question

I want to ask if there is any method to add JavaFX into Maven Archetype list in Eclipse or any plugin to use Maven to build JavaFX Application.

Answer 1

There is the javafx-maven-plugin which is available for maven.

When developing with Java 8 you just put that plugin as some build-plugin, without further dependencies.

    com.zenjava
    javafx-maven-plugin
    8.8.3
    
        your.main.class.which.extends.javafx.Application
    

Calling mvn jfx:jar creates your javafx-application-jar inside target/jfx/app/yourapp-jfx.jar, or even creates native launcher (like EXE-file) when calling mvn jfx:native.

Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of the javafx-maven-plugin.
