NetBeans and Eclipse will already come with the Java compiler, if you are building from the command line you will need to download the latest JDK from. So you will also need a Java 1.6 compiler to build the code. The source code files contain both Java 1.6 and JavaFX 1.1 source code files. I have never used NetBeans or Eclipse to build a JavaFX program, so I am not sure how good either of them works.

In order to convert SVG to JavaFX graphics, you also need to download the JavaFX 1.1 Production Suite.Īll of these downloads are available from except for the Eclipse plugin which is available from.

If you prefer Eclipse to NetBeans, there is a plugin available.

If you prefer to work in an IDE, you can download the NetBeans IDE 6.5 for JavaFX 1.1.

In order to build the Chess program from the command line, you must download the JavaFX 1.1 SDK.

The following list describes the downloads that you will need depending on whether you are using the command line or an IDE: I like working on my VI skills whenever I can. For this project, however, I decided not to use an IDE. I use IDEs at work (Eclipse and Visual Studio) and really enjoy working with them. In order to help the experienced Java programmers who are reading this article, I have put in some code translations from JavaFX to Java to help you better understand the sample JavaFX code posted in this article. JavaFX is an entirely different programming language. I was expecting JavaFX to be just like Java only with a new set of framework classes to learn.

This article describes my learning experience and introduces the basics of programming in JavaFX. So over the course of about a month I wrote a Chess program written in JavaFX. I figured the best way to learn JavaFX would be to assign myself a programming project on a topic I'm interested in and to complete the project in the new language. I have been programming in Java for over 5 years and recently decided to teach myself JavaFX. Perhaps one day I'll write a better chess playing program and post an article called smart chess. So if you can't beat this chess program, then you are a worse player than me. I call it dummy chess because the algorithm I used just selects a move at random. In this article, I develop a Chess application that runs on the desktop.

It is most often compared to the new RIA languages from Microsoft (Silverlight) and Adobe (AIR). It's primary purpose is to make it easier to develop rich internet applications (RIAs) that can run on a variety of devices including PCs, mobile phones, and Blu-ray players.

Sun recently released a new programming language for the Java platform called JavaFX. Sample screen shot of the Chess program written in JavaFX Introduction
