To build our application, we'll return to NetBeans and JavaFX. As in the previous chapters, we'll create a new Maven-based JavaFX application by clicking on File
| New Project
:
In the next step, call the project deskdroid-desktop
, verify the package name, and click on Finish
. While not strictly necessary, let's clean up the naming a bit, changing the controller to DeskDroidController
, and the FXML file to deskdroid.fxml
. We'll also need to modify the references to the FXML and the CSS in the controller, and the reference to the controller in the FXML. Click on Run
| Run Project
to make sure everything is wired up correctly. Once the app starts, we can immediately close it so we can start making changes.
