How to run Visage application with Visage-compiler-preview and JavaFX2.0 ?

[Shiv Kumar Ganesh]

Hi,

I downloaded the Visage compiler but am not able to figure it out how to run the visage applications.

I am on a windows system with JavaFX 2.0. I did follow the wiki on the InstallingPreviewBuilds but as mentioned about

the "lib/shared" folder where the javafxc.jar is to be put, there does not exist any "lib/shared" folder.

On the other hand since the wiki was for JavaFX 1.3.1 is the Visage-compiler-preview 1 having problems with JavaFX 2.0.

Please let me know the details of how to run a visage app on my windows machine?

Thanks,

Shiv.

Hello Shiv,

Here the steps I followed to create compile with Visage and JavaFX 2.0 (VisageFX):

- Check out Visage project and clean/build it;

- Check out VisageFX, solve the reference problem in Netbeans and clean/build it;

From now you are able to create JavaFX 2.0 apps using the old and good Visage. For this, what I did was the following steps:

- I took Visage build files and created a Visage "dist" in my machine. After this I set the VISAGE_HOME variable and put it in my path, so I'm able to call "visage" and "visagec" on command line;

- Now I can create .visage files, open with notepad++ and start creating code from what is done with VisageFX project. 

- To compile it I use the following command:

# visagec - classpath .;{JavaFX 2.0 rt.jar file};{visagefx JAR file} filename

- To run it I use the following command:

# visage - classpath .;{JavaFX 2.0 rt.jar file};{visagefx JAR file} classname

Please, let me know if these instructions were helpful :)

Hi Williams,

I have already tried out the things you mentioned above. I am facing a broblem where after compilation I get the class file. But when I try running the class file I get the following error :-

C:\Users\Shiv\Documents\Projects\Visage\HelloVisage>visage -cp lib/VisageFX.jar;

lib/jfxrt.jar src/org/visage/test/Main.class

Main-Class not found src/org/visage/test/Main.class

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: src/org/visage/test/Main.class

        at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)

        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264)

        at org.visage.runtime.Main.main(Main.java:68)

Kindly download and feel free to point of the  mistake.

Coz I have just written a simple stage. My program goes like this

                                                      package org.visage.test;

                                                      import visage.javafx.stage.Stage;

 

                                                         Stage {

  

                                                                    }

Thanks,

Hi William,

I was actually waiting for your reply. Please help me through. I would appreciate your help.I am still stuck with it though I have started going through the code or wrapping visage and would definitely take up some task.

Hello Shiv,

Please add me on GTalk and let's discuss the error you are having. The only difference from my code is that I use: visage -cp .;visageFx.jar;jfxrt.jar ClassName

I don't know why, but I remember the . Was very important on classpath.

I would definitely do that William. I am also using the same command my jar files being in another folder I type as follows:-

>> visage -cp bin;lib/visageFX.jar;lib/jfxrt.jar className

But it throws exception. Is it due to JDK 7 and JavaFX2.0 because most of the people I see in the user group use JavaFX 1.3 ? Neways it was really nice to hear from you. I would add you up and we will discuss further.Thanks a lot once again :).
NOTE: I am running bad on internet connection so would be unavailable for a week or so.Hope you understand :).

Hi Shiv,

>>> But it throws exception

I faced this same issue when I started with VisageFX. For some reason you need to include the "." in your classpath. Please, search this group and you will see some messages mine regarding it.

> visagec -cp .;bin;lib/visageFX.jar;lib/jfxrt.jar file.visage
> visage -cp .;bin;lib/visageFX.jar;lib/jfxrt.jar className

> Is it due to JDK 7 and JavaFX2.0 because most of the people I see in the user group use JavaFX 1.3

For JavaFX  the process is different. I'm using Java 6 and JavaFX, but VisageFX. VisageFX is a project to bring Visage to JavaFX 2, JavaFX 1.x doesn't need VisageFX, if I remember well it requires only a file substitution in JavaFX 1.x installation.

Please let me know if you could compile and execute your VisageFX code and also if you need more information.


Best Regards,
