VM option for ControlsFX - javafx

I have an exception when I use TextFields.bindAutoCompletion with JDK 11 and ControlsFX 11.0.0.
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.controlsfx.control.textfield.AutoCompletionBinding (in module org.controlsfx.controls) cannot access class com.sun.javafx.event.EventHandlerManager (in module javafx.base) because module javafx.base does not export com.sun.javafx.event to module org.controlsfx.controls
I added option to javafx-maven-plugin maven plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.0.8</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>hu.infokristaly.jpasswordprotector.JPasswordProtector</mainClass>
<options>
<option>--add-exports</option>
<option>javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.event=ALL-UNNAMED</option>
</options>
</configuration>
<executions>

<option>${profiler.jvmargs.arg4}</option>
<option>${profiler.jvmargs.arg5}</option>
</options>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
But exception still present. I searched with Google and I can't find working solution for this.
My module-info.java is bellow:
module hu.infokristaly.jpasswordprotector {
requires javafx.controls;
requires javafx.fxml;
requires javafx.base;
requires java.desktop;
requires org.controlsfx.controls;
requires com.google.gson;
opens hu.infokristaly.jpasswordprotector to javafx.fxml;
exports hu.infokristaly.jpasswordprotector;
}
Is this good?

I found a solution:
<configuration>
<mainClass>hu.infokristaly.jpasswordprotector.JPasswordProtector</mainClass>
<options>
<option>--add-exports</option>
í<option>javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.event=org.controlsfx.controls</option>
</options>
</configuration>
And debug execution for NetBeans 12:
<execution>
<!-- Configuration for automatic IDE debugging -->
<id>ide-debug</id>
<configuration>
<options>
<option>-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=${jpda.address}</option>

<option>javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.event=org.controlsfx.controls</option>
</options>
</configuration>
</execution>

I can't debug an application using netbeans 11 with JavaFX 12

I've downloaded netbeans 11 with support for java 12
So I followed up the steps from the Gluon webpage running JavaFX and Netbeans Non modular with maven > https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#next-steps
I have configured as showed in the instructions the action to run this app.
Run Project
clean javafx:run
But there is nothing specified to debug the project.
Is there a way to debug this javaFX project?

If you see the documentation of the javafx-maven-plugin, you can add some VM arguments to the run goal in order to debug your project in NetBeans.
However, to keep the usual run goal ready to just run the project and not debug, without commenting out the added options, we can add a second execution to the plugin.
Modify your plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.0.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<!-- Default configuration for running -->
<id>default-cli</id>
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.mycompany.simonsaysgfx.App</mainClass>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<!-- Configuration for debugging -->
<id>debug</id>
<configuration>
<options>
<option>-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=*:8000</option>
</options>
<mainClass>com.mycompany.simonsaysgfx.App</mainClass>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now you can run from command line:
mvn clean javafx:run
to run as usual your application, and:
mvn clean javafx:run#debug
to start debug mode. Then you will see something like:
[INFO] --- javafx-maven-plugin:0.0.2:run (debug) # Project ---
[INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
[INFO] Copying 1 resource
[INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module!
[INFO] Compiling 3 source files to /path/to/project/target/classes
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
At this point, you need to set your breakpoints and attach a debugger from NetBeans -> Debug -> Attach Debugger to port 8000:
Click OK and you will be able to debug your projects.
Note that you can also define custom NetBeans actions to use the Run and Debug buttons. Add a nbactions.xml file to the root of your project, with this two actions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<actions>
<action>
<actionName>run</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<goal>javafx:run</goal>
</goals>
</action>
<action>
<actionName>jlink</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<goal>javafx:jlink</goal>
</goals>
</action>
<action>
<actionName>debug</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<goal>javafx:run#debug</goal>
</goals>
</action>
</actions>
Now you can use NetBeans run and debug buttons.
José's answer is good. Just go little bit further.
In pom.xml set the
address=${jpda.address} instead of address=*:8000
<execution>
<!-- Configuration for debugging -->
<id>debug</id>
<configuration>
<options>
<option>-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=${jpda.address}</option>
</options>
<mainClass>cz.masci.mvcpattern.mvc.App</mainClass>
</configuration>
</execution>
Be aware of set server=n, otherwise the application will not start.
In the debug action set jpda.listen=true property
...
<action>
<actionName>debug</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<goal>javafx:run#debug</goal>
</goals>
<properties>
<jpda.listen>true</jpda.listen>
</properties>
</action>
Then you don't need to attach debuger anymore. Netbeans does it for you.

Change image from installer inno [duplicate]

I've been fighting with this for over a day and have read many posts on SO and other places, but I'm still having problems.
I need to include my application icon in a self-contained JavaFX application package. I'm using JDK 1.8.0_45 and its included JavaFX package. I'm using Maven to build the .exe and it all works great except I can't get my icon included.

EDIT 2: Here's a screenshot of the expanded target folder:
When I execute the build with the verbose flag, I get these messages:

I've tried using the "Drop In Resources" as described in the Oracle Documentation, but no matter what I try to get the classpath right, it won't recognize my custom icon
EDIT 3:
I used NwDx's suggested approach of using the javapackager instead of the ant task and I've gotten very close to what I need. Now my only problem is that the dialog box icon still uses the generic java coffee cup:

The thing that made the icon show up in the title bar is the -Bicon=${project.build.directory}/classes/${application.title}.ico argument to the javapackager deploy step. That line tells the inno installer to use the icon. The last piece of the puzzle is how to make inno use the bmp for the dialog box image. Here's the relevant bit of the log file:

Inno Setup 5 Command-Line Compiler
You can see where it finds my custom application icon, but it's not finding the custom setup dialog icon.
Prerequirements / Assumptions
You're on Windows (7, 8, 8.1)
You have a JDK installed at least in version 1.8.0 (javafx included)
You've set the JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to the top directory of your JDK (ex. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45)
You have Inno Setup at least in version 5.5.5 installed (prefered the unicode version)
You already have a icon file (256 x 256px), prefered a multisize one. I recommend to visit this site: http://icoconvert.com/
You already have a bmp file (48 x 48 px) for the setup installer as setup icon
Solution
Project structure
First you need to setup the Project in a valid structure, like this:
Your package folder have to be in the project root folder and not in any subfolder like src or resources.
pom.xml
There are some more properties needed for doing the correct deploy. As you can see in the antrun plugin section, you need to reassign the properties for your ant environment before you can call the build file. The properties are automatically set to the called build file. Normaly Intellij Idea will create the pom.xml for you in the project root dir.

I've tried to make it loosley coupled, so there is normaly no need to change anything in that file. Only if you want to have signing or special behaviour etc.The build.xml file should be saved in the project root dir.

Images in package folder
The images in your package folder need to be renamed. The icon file need to be exactly (case-sensitive) named as the property application.title in your maven pom. The second file is the setup icon, it need the exact application title as first part and -setup-icon.bmp the last part. It needs to be a bmp. Sizes mentioned above.
My images looks like that:
Run configuration
The only thing you now need is to run the scripts to deploy it. For this you need a special run configuration like showing in the next screen:
App
After you have configured the run, run it and you will get the app. My App is nothing special only the default Hello World example and it looks like that:
Path to exe installer
In your project root is a folder target->dist->bundles, there you get your new Setup.exe
Installer with icon
Finally you got it.
Target structure
The target folder contains a non valid jar from the maven run, but it doesn't matter. You only should know, that if you only want the jar to start by double click, you need to choose the one in the dist folder. The jar in the dist folder is essential, because the whole process of creating an installer relies on this jar. Now you be also able to put a *.iss file in your package windows folder to customize more parts of the creation process, like a license file etc. For doing this, have a look here at the documention of Inno Setup.
For folks who are already using Maven to build a jar, building a native app and including an icon is easy with the javafx-maven-plugin. (I found it via this answer.)
The plugin developers have provided a nice little auto-configuration script. I had to add a <vendor> key, but then everything worked smoothly.
Once you have that working, all you have to do to get a custom icon is create a correctly-formatted file, give it exactly the same name as the native app, and drop it in the correct folder for the given system:
Windows: put some ICO-file at src/main/deploy/package/windows/{appname}.ico, where {appname} is the configured appname of your application
Mac OS(X): put some ICNS-file at src/main/deploy/package/macosx/{appname}.icns, where {appname} is the configured appname of your application
Linux: put some PNG-file at src/main/deploy/package/linux/{appname}.png, where {appname} is the configured appname of your application
(The text above was copied from this issue.)
I've tested this on both Windows and Mac, and it works in both cases.
Have you considered using launch4j? I have used it to create my exe files and it works flawlessly and allows you to set the icon. I use it coupled with izpack.
you neeed put the package folder in your root project. The output from console indicate the correct path. I know this Is old question but can help someone else.

Disable auto compilation of LESS

I am in Eclipse environment. I want LESS to compile only when explicitly invoked via mvn package. At the moment, as soon as I make any changes in my less file it propagates the change to CSS. What should I do to avoid this behaviour?
<plugin>
<groupId>org.lesscss</groupId>
<artifactId>lesscss-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7.0.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<watch>false</watch>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/webapp/css</sourceDirectory>
<outputDirectory>src/main/webapp/css</outputDirectory>
<compress>true</compress>
<force>true</force>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
also posted this issue here
As a workaround I have encapsulated LESS plugin inside a profile. On server side I invoke that profile to do LESS compilation
mvn package -pless_compile
M2Eclipse is an Eclipse plugin which provides tight integration for Maven. It determines who and when plugins should be executed. Each plugin can store lifecycle mapping metadata with data on which it based its decision (see M2E compatible maven plugins). By default this plugin is called on incremental builds:
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<execute>
<runOnIncremental>true</runOnIncremental>
<runOnConfiguration>false</runOnConfiguration>
</execute>
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
If you want to disable automatic compilation, then you need to add the following entry to your pom.xml:
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.lesscss</groupId>
<artifactId>lesscss-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[0,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<ignore />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
You need to define in which maven phase you want to execute your plugin, basically adding the phase tag under the execution tag. Take look to the following examples: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html#Using_the_executions_Tag.

Error reading assemblies: No assembly descriptors found

I get Error reading assemblies: No assembly descriptors found when building my project. I'm trying to set permissions for my .sh files and exclude a nasty .jar file that makes my application crash...I don't think the problem is about that though....
My maven-assembly plugin is added like this in my pom.xml file:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/src.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
My assembly descriptor looks like this:
<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
<id>my-assembly-descriptor</id>
<formats>
<format>jar</format>
<format>war</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>${project.build.directory}</directory>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.sh</include>
</includes>
<fileMode>0755</fileMode>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<excludes>
<exclude>spring-2.5.4.jar</exclude>
</excludes>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
The structure in my project is:
Interface - src - main - assembly - src.xml
- pom.xml
When trying to do Run as -> Debug as -> and then in goal putting
assembly:single
I get the same error. I tried in console, with assembly:assembly, and I got nothing. I even tried to put a wrong path to my assembly descriptor, but the error didn't change. When putting ${basedir}/ before the path to my assembly descriptor, I get the same.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, and I'm working with Eclipse EE,...
Thanks!
I have been using version 2.3 of maven-assembly-plugin, but I believe the problem is the same: if the assembly configuration is declared inside an execution, it works from mvn package, but does not work from mvn assembly:assembly.
The solution I have found is to declare the configuration in the top-level configuration of the plugin, and keep the execution as small as possible:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/standalone.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<finalName>standalone</finalName>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>standalone</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
It seems that you have configured the assembly plugin in <build>...<pluginManagement>...<plugins>. It should work if you configure the plugin in <build>...<plugins>.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/src.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I was also facing the same issue with below command
$mvn clean assembly:single
But below command worked for me
$mvn clean assembly:assembly

Coping swf resources with flex-mojos to the custom folder

How I can configure copy-flex-resources goal and swf dependencies to copy swf files to the custom folder in my web-app? By default it copies to the web-app root.
More about copy-flex-resources goal here:
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/FLEXMOJOS/Copy+Flex+Resources
Your can add a "configuration" to that plugin:
<configuration>
<webappDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</webappDirectory>
<!-- If RSLs are coming from the WAR uncomment this line
<copyRSL>false</copyRSL>-->
</configuration>
I use maven-antrun-plugin to copy several swfs from several sub projects
(there's probably a better way, but it does the job)
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<move file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/mySwf-${project.version}.swf"
tofile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/somedir/mySwf.swf" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
For the war project the maven-dependency-plugin is the somewhat better choice. It can copy different resources to different places and keeps in sync with your versions declared in your dependencies.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-content</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId>
<artifactId>barstyles</artifactId>
<type>swf</type>
<outputDirectory>${flashAppDir}/bar</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>barstyles.swf</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.graniteds</groupId>
<artifactId>graniteds</artifactId>
<type>swf</type>
<outputDirectory>${flashAppDir}/thirdparty</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>graniteds.swf</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
