Java J2EE Spring Hello World! using NetBeans IDE 7.1

To verify our installation of NetBeans 7.1, we are going to create a helloworld using NetBeans.

- Click File -> New Project... in NetBeans IDE top menu.

- Select Java from Categories, and Java Application from Projects. Then click Next.


- Enter helloNetBeans in Project Name field, make sure both checkbox of Create Main Class and Set as Main Project is checked. the Main class name will updated automatically when we enter Project Name. Click Finish.


- A default project will be generated for you.


- Modify the code in main() to say something.

public class HelloNetBeans {

 /**
  * @param args the command line arguments
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
     // TODO code application logic here
     System.out.println("Hello World! from NetBeans.");
 }
}

- Final Save(File -> Save), Build (Run -> Build Project) and Run (Run -> Run Main Project). If everything go correctly, you can see the word "Hello World! from NetBeans." in the Output windows, that means your installation is properly.

Java J2EE Spring Hello World of Java 7 on Windows 8, in "cmd" DOS Prompt

After installed of Java environment, it's time to code our first Java program - helloworld.

The first exercise of helloworld we create and compile in "cmd" (DOS Prompt) environment.

- Create a text file helloworld.java, using any editor program you like.

- Entent the code, and save it:

public class helloworld{

public static void main(String[] args){
 System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

}

helloworld.java

- Start a "cmd" window in Windows 8, refer to the post "Run 'cmd' in Windows 8" if you don't know how. Change to the directory of helloworld.java.

- Type the command to compile the java program:
javac helloworld.java

- Type the command to run the compiled class:
java helloworld

- If your JDK environment is set properly, the output should be:
Hello World!



*** If you cannot run javac/java due to missing in path setting, refer to the post "Set PATH for JDK 7 on Windows 8".

Spring Hibernate Introduce JavaFX Scene Builder

JavaFX Scene Builder is a design tool that enables you to drag and drop graphical user interface (GUI) components onto a JavaFX scene. It can help you to quickly prototype interactive applications that connect GUI components to the application logic. It automatically generates the FXML source code as you define the GUI layout for your application.

Before you can use the JavaFX Scene Builder. You also need to install the NetBeans IDE 7.2 Beta, which is used in this tutorial. See the JavaFX Scene Builder Installation Guide for more details.

The Getting Started with JavaFX Scene Builder document presents the step-by-step creation of a simple issue-tracking application. It shows how quickly you can build the GUI for a JavaFX application by using JavaFX Scene Builder and connect it to the source code that handles the interaction between the data and the user interface.

Spring Hibernate JavaFX FXML Application

FXML is a scriptable, XML-based markup language for constructing Java object graphs. It provides a convenient alternative to constructing such graphs in procedural code, and is ideally suited to defining the user interface of a JavaFX application, since the hierarchical structure of an XML document closely parallels the structure of the JavaFX scene graph.

- To creates a JavaFX FXML-enabled application in a standard IDE project: Click File -> New Project... in NetBeans IDE.

- Select Categories of JavaFX, and Projects of JavaFX FXML Application, then click Next.

- Enter name and location of the project, then click Finish.

Three Files under Source Packages will be created:

• Sample.fxml: The FXML source file to define the UI.
• Sample.java: The controller file to handle user input of mouse and keyboard.
• helloFXML.java: The main Java code.

Now, try to run the auto-generated JavaFX FXML Application.
