FEST’s JavaFX Compiler Maven Plug-in 1.0b1

I’m proud to announce the release of FEST’s JavaFX Compiler Maven plug-in 1.0b1!

This plug-in compiles JavaFX source and test files.

Features

• Compiles JavaFX source and test files
• Does not require JavaFX distribution to be in a Maven repository (according to its license, only Oracle can distribute JavaFX)
• Does not require to list all JavaFX libraries as dependencies in your pom.xml

Example

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.easytesting</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafxc-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.0b1</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>compile</id>
          <phase>compile</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>compile</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
          <id>test-compile</id>
          <phase>test-compile</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>testCompile</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

The listing above will:

1. call the “compile” goal in the standard Maven “compile” phase.
2. call the “testCompile” goal in the standard Maven “test-compile” phase.

As a result, if we execute “mvn test” both JavaFX sources and test sources will compiled automatically.
