How to make a library with JavaFX classes in NetBeans?

[ibbibby]

I want to create a Java library that contains JavaFX classes, to be used by JavaFX applications, but I can't get this to work right.

If I create it as a JavaFX Application project, it always runs the Application class of the library instead of the Application classes of the JavaFX applications that include it

If I create it as a Java Class Library, and then change the platform to "Default JavaFX Platform" in order to allow access to the JavaFX classes, NetBeans tells me that it can't find the Default JavaFX Platform, and all the JavaFX references in the library fail.

So, how can I make this work? Also, is this a bug in NetBeans? It sure seems like one, at least the second part.

We've also been searching on this problem for a while. Seems javafx doesn't generate the correct code for your main startup project.

The problem is next, in your "project.properties" file (you will find this in the tab 'files' in the netbeans navigation) he generates the line "main.class=com.javafx.main.Main" or something similar change it to "main.class=[path to runfile]" for example "main.class=partymanager.fuifganger.runtime.RuntimeClass" if you do that and then run the project you will see it's working.

We found out the problem yesterday and solved it today. I know your post is dated back 4 months ago, but we hope it'll still be useful for you or other people.
