javaFX2 miglayout portability
I'm pretty new to Java and I'm just starting to venture into the UI world of it. I've looked at what framework and tools to use. My goals are:
As for everything I do, I start with a lot of documentation and research and right now my choice is landing on javaFX and miglayout.
I develop with Linux Ubuntu (currently 13.04) but my user base will be a mix of windows and Ubuntu and maybe some MAC users.
I wanted to know from people with way more experience, their pain points while developing with javaFX2 and migLayout when it comes to portability to other OS.
I have found this thread: How portable is JavaFX 2? But the answer I'm looking for is not: it works in "X" but rather. To make it work in "X" and "Y". "a", "b" and "c" will have to be taken care of. handling "z" is hard because etc...
Thanks.
All you need is properly installed JDK, And with a little help from your preferred IDE you will get almost a complete portable working environment ).
Using Netbeans will hide the complexity behind generating a runnable jar file, for serious project using a dependency manager will be a must , both Gradle and Maven have good JavaFX plugin for build automation (by using Maven, you can clone my Github repository and start working immediately whatever the OS you're running),for more about JavaFX and Java SE integration see this answer from a OpenJDK contributor.
javaFX2 miglayout portability
Miglayout has a JavaFX plugin all you need is to add miglayout-javafx.jar and the miglayout-core.jar to your CLASSPATH , so there is no portability issues with MigLayout .
MigLayout is a real powerful layout manager (especially when it comes to Swing ), but I prefer going the idiomatic way of building JavaFX user interfaces (essentially, enterprise and data-driven applications) by using fxml and scenebuilder.
