You are literally a life savior, I had only 1 hour left to send the assignment and no other tutorial would work

[DerMatheman]

tried over 10 tutorials this one worked 10/10

Thank you very much good sir! I've been trying various tutorials then learned that later versions of JavaFX (I think 11+ which I'm using) cannot be simply built with jar files. This video walked me through the updated way from configuring the JAVA PATH (previous video) to deploying.

Thank you very much!

[shaliniyadav]

I'm getting error no main manifest attribute in my jar

[gilbertcabigasalmazan]

what if the project use mysql db does get deployed within within the jar too? Which works on different machine?

[libanbande]

Hello. I have created a custom control but IntelliJ IDEA shows this message: fx:deploy is not available in this JDK. I saw your video but it doesn't work. Can you make a tutorial to show how to make a custom control?

I don't know why it doesn't work. The control works but I need to build it to load the jar in Scene Builder. I'm using JDK 16 and Scene Builder 16.

That final jar can run on any PC with a different jre?

[iyadshaheen]

Hello Ken, I followed your steps to setting this project up and I got to the part where we edit the configurations and add vm after I did that and applied changes, I ran the application and it gave me this message 

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
Module KeepRaffle not found

Process finished with exit code 1


any idea how to fix this error?
thanks
