To create JavaFX applications, developers must install the Java Development Kit (JDK) 8, which includes Java Runtime Environment (JRE), to run the JavaFX tools, samples and applications. Code the "Hello World" application with JavaFX and NetBeans 7.3 by following this text-based tutorial. Continue with the animation of the UI controls with JavaFX Markup Language (FXML) and its application programming interface (API). Explore and choose the UI controls and follow the Getting Started tutorials to create forms, a simple user interface, animations and visual effects. Download and modify the JavaFX sample applications, which are business interface examples that users can experiment with.
Java projects are important for developing core java skills and it also helps to shine your resume. If you are beginner, projects are a way to show that one understands the underlying concepts of the programming language and are ready to apply it to solve real-world problems.
Since the JDK supplies the compiler for your Java programs, the JDK you use determines what Java version you can code in. For example, if you want to use functional programming features, then you need at least the Java 8 JDK for compiling. Otherwise, the javac (Java compiler) command will reject the Lambda code with a syntax error.
