Java FX 2 Alert sound

Question

How do I play an alert sound in Java FX 2? Is there a way of using the OS default notification sound?

Answer 1

This is how I play sounds,

private void playMedia(Media m){
    if (m != null){
        MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(m);
        mp.play();
    }
}

public void playSomeSound(){
    try{
        Media someSound = new Media(getClass().getResource("some-sound.mp3").toString());
        playMedia(someSound);
    }catch(Exception ex){
        GeeLogger.error(getClass(), ex.getLocalizedMessage(), ex);
    }

}

Don't know about SO specifics though. Hope it helps.
