I have started exploring javaFX, and came to know about aquaFX, I downloaded it and added it to my project as referenced libraries, but I don't know how to use aquafx in my project, I'm just trying to develop a basic UI for a desktop application.
Please explain how to use aquafx in my project, I know about UI elements and UIcontrol of javafx, but I can't understand how can I use aquafx with them.
I'm currently using eclipse oxygen 3A.
thanks

A couple of years ago I started an open source project that used javaFX + jdk8 to create a desktop application for windows. A few months ago I decided to continue improving the project and make it a little more professional and easy to work on. For that, the first thing I did was migrate to JDK 11 and include Maven. Right now my project starts up and works fine in the IDE. But I am finding it very difficult to compile and package it.
A few months ago, I created another desktop application with javascript and electron. I loved that with a couple of commands, the application compiled and packaged automatically for windows, mac, and linux.
I am trying to do something similar with my java application. That is, use some tool that allows you to make all this ready and automated. I don't know if Maven has these features or if I need to use other tools. I know there are solutions like "launch4j", but what I'm trying to do is create a system that does everything with a couple of commands. The idea is that anyone who downloads the project will have it easy to package the applications.
So the question would be, now that I have a working project, what system do you recommend using to package my project? Which way should I go?
The way to go with this is use the jpackage tool which is made exactly for this. Here is a tutorial which explains how to use that with Maven. https://github.com/dlemmermann/JPackageScriptFX
I am new to programming,
Can anyone suggest how to construct/edit the user interface in Java GWT with ui binder. A GUI editor/designer should be handy but unfortunately I couldn't find one
I am working on an existing project that uses Java and GWT with ui binder with the ui.xml files.
Eclipse Luna as the ide(python in the backend that's another story)
Searched across the internet to find that there is a GWT designer tool but that is discontinued on latest GWT. Rest all other tutorials says to add/edit the .java and .ui.xml codes which is a tired process as my project has got plenty of sheets.
Thanks in adavnce
Just do it by hand.
No editor exists anymore. The old editor you found is dead.
I guess because it was not good enough.
Never used it, programming should be done by hand.
This is more like a work around(as I wouldn't consider this an actual fix/answer)
Here is what I did
Loaded my Project onto Eclipse Kepler with GWT 2.6.1(this version has the fixed designer tool)
Voila, it works like a charm and now I can easily edit/modify the UI.
I know its a dead end if I can't move with an updated version, but its okay for now.
Hope I find an alternate.
Many thanks for the suggestions and answers.
I have recently installed IntelliJ, to learn Java. I have been learning Java previously in Eclipse, but a lot of Seniors have suggested me to start Developing in IntelliJ as it would Save time in Future.
Now the Problem is the Environment is totally different, I cannot add packages directly, i have to configure a lot of things, which is making me confuse, as to which option i need to correctly run my applications. Can anyone help me out how to go about it.
IntelliJ is definitely different from Eclipse so a little reading on the Getting Started pages is helpful. For me, understanding the modules part was the hardest.
For migrating from Eclipse, they have a pretty good tutorial besides the IDE options to import Eclipse projects.
I've been given an old java project created by an ex-employee to improve, but I'm having issues with trying to get a GUI tool working with the existing forms/java files in the project.
I've installed WindowBuilder Pro for Eclipse 4.3, but I can't bring up a design view for the main form window. Otherwise it does work if I add a new blank JFrame.
I also created the same project in Netbeans 7.3, but when I try bring up the design view, I'm given an error saying support for swing has been discontinued.
Does anyone know what I'm missing or what I could do?
If it helps anything, it was originally created with an earlier version of Netbeans, though I'd like to avoid using it if I can (partly because I don't know which version).

Learn how to write a Swing GUI. For that, see Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing.
I have already developped a Java project using Eclipse.
Now I would like to integrate an help system to allow the user to open a guide.
Browsing other questions i found this tutorial to set up Eclipse environment in order to use the Eclipse Help System. Anyway, this tutorial and all documentation I found since now, only explain how to use this system creating a new plugin project.
But what about if I want simply add the help system to an existing Java Project created in Eclipse IDE?
Which step should I follow to update my project configuration?
Is it possible to integrate Eclipse Help system, without using eclipse?
No, the help system you point to is an eclipse plugin based system, useful with RCP programs. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/RCP It will only run in the context of an RCP application.
You might be able to write an RCP app that contains only help, launch it, and communicate with it through http from your java app, but it's not a simple integration ... and you still have to build your help documents so that org.eclipse.ui.help can see them.
