Hello Raspberry Pi

This post try to develope JavaFX Application on Windows 8 and run on Raspberry Pi.

Development host PC:
OS - Windows 8 Pro
Development Tools: NetBeans IDE 7.4
JDK: jdk 1.7.0_45

Raspberry Pi:
Model B with 8G SD Card
OS: Raspbian wheezy 2013年09月25日
Memory Split: 64
Overclock: Medium 900MHz
Run in Text Console mode
java version 1.8.0-ea (build 1.8.0-ea-b117)

Steps:
- New a JavaFX Application in Netbeans, named "JavaFXHelloPi".

- Modify the Java code to add a button to exit.

package javafxhellopi;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JavaFXHelloPi extends Application {
 
 @Override
 public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
 Button btn = new Button();
 btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
 btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
 System.out.println("Hello World!");
 }
 });
 Button btnExit = new Button();
 btnExit.setText("Exit");
 btnExit.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
 Platform.exit();
 }
 });
 VBox vBox = new VBox();
 vBox.getChildren().addAll(btn, btnExit);
 StackPane root = new StackPane();
 root.getChildren().add(vBox);
 Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
 primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
 primaryStage.setScene(scene);
 primaryStage.show();
 }
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 launch(args);
 }
 
}

- It run on Windows 8 like this:

- ftp the created jar, JavaFXHelloPi\dist\JavaFXHelloPi.jar, to Raspberry Pi.

- ssh to Raspberry Pi, run the jar by entering the command:
$ java -jar JavaFXHelloPi.jar



Remark:
It's just a personal experiment. For official steps, refer: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/OpenJFX+on+the+Raspberry+Pi
