Javafx project doesn't compile with maven

Question

I have a Java FX project and am using maven 3.0.5 to build. When i run mvn package/install, the project fails and complains that the package javafx.* doesn\'t exist

Answer 1

placing this in the dependencies (depending on where your jdk is) will help the dependency compile, however you should probably replace it with a variable that the user can specify in their settings.xml or maven system properties:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaFX</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\jfxrt.jar</systemPath>
    </dependency>

see Maven project with JavaFX (with jar file in `lib`) for more details as to why
