How to create a JavaFX Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

How can I open a JavaFX Maven project from scratch in IntelliJ IDEA? As there is no difference between a Java project and a JavaFx project, I want to open a dedicated JavaFX pro

Answer 1

This steps worked for me (Is a different process): 1. Create a maven project. 2. In the generated pom.xml add the following:

`
        
            
                com.zenjava
                javafx-maven-plugin
                8.7.0
                
                    your.package.with.mainclass
                
            
        
    `

This adds a maven plugin for javafx (more info: https://github.com/javafx-maven-plugin/javafx-maven-plugin)

3. Create in your resources folder your sample.fxml
4. Create your controller class for sample.fxml and link
5. Enjoy!
