Intention

The NetBeansIDE-AfterburnerFX-Plugin is a NetBeans IDE plugin which supports the file generation in convention with the library afterburner.fx in a JavaFX project.

The following primary files [FileName].fxml, [FileName]Presenter.java, [FileName]View.java and optional [FileName].css, [FileName].properties and configuration.properties can be created in a new wizard.
One conditional is that [FileName].toLowerCase() must be equals with the last choosen package name.

General
Generated Files

Following files can be created in the new wizard:

  • Primary files are [FileName].fxml, [FileName]Presenter.java and [FileName]View.java where [FileName].toLowerCase() must be equals with the last choosen package name.
    • Additional option: File [FileName].fxml should be lowercase.
  • Optional files are [FileName].css, [FileName].properties and configuration.properties.
    • Additional options: File [FileName].css and/or file [FileName].properties and/or configuration.properties should be lowercase.
  • The optional files can also additional injected into following files:
    • The [FileName].css file can additional injected into the [FileName].fxml file.
    • The [FileName].properties can additional injected into into the [FileName]Presenter.java file.
Injection from the Optional Files

Comparison with/without injection from the Optional File ImportDialog.css in ImportDialog.fxml.

Without injection:

<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="org.my.demoapplication.importdialog.ImportdialogPresenter">

</AnchorPane>

With injection:

<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" styleClass="mainFxmlClass" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="org.my.demoapplication.importdialog.ImportdialogPresenter">
    <stylesheets>
        <URL value="@Importdialog.css"/>
    </stylesheets>
</AnchorPane>

Comparison with/without injection from the Optional File ImportDialog.properties in ImportDialogPresenter.java`.

Without injection:

public class ImportdialogPresenter implements Initializable {

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
        
    }
}

With injection:

public class ImportdialogPresenter implements Initializable {

    private ResourceBundle resources = null;
    
    @Override
    public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
        this.resources = resources;
    }
}
Validation from user input
  • The wizard gives the user feedback if the choosen [FileName] and package name aren't in convention with the library afterburner.fx. The [FileName].toLowerCase() and the last choosen package name must be equals.
  • Feedback is also given if the choosen [FileName] and / or package name doesn't follow the rules from the Java Naming Convention.
