Course Setup

You will install Java10 or Java11 (more of a pain) on your lappy. You will then come to me and demonstrate the following. For text editing, you may use your favorite text editor (ex: Atom, vim, emacs, Notepad++)

Next, if you are a Windoze user, you need to update your environment variables so your path can see javac and java.

• Compile the test Java file shown below and run it at your machine's command line.
• Compile the test JavaFX file shown below and run it at your machine's command line.

Test Java File

public class Test
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("FOO");
    }
}

Test JavaFX File

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;

public class TestFX extends Application
{   
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primary)
    {   
        primary.setTitle("Testing JavaFX");
        primary.show();
    }

}
