Tagged "IntelliJ IDEA"

I created my first IntelliJ IDEA plugin to fix a minor, personal frustration… I have a long list of projects I’m working on and need to switch between them frequently. But it’s hard to locate a specific project in such a long list. But this problem is now solved! I created a small plugin that adds a new option to the “File” menu: “Recent Projects (Organized)”. It shows your recent projects, organized by the first word of their project name. When multiple projects share the same first word, they get grouped in a submenu.

Recently, I was asked what the best way is to build a Fat JAR (a JAR with all dependencies) using Maven. Therefore, I created a GitHub project javafx-jar-template that you can use as a starting point. It contains a small JavaFX demo application with the TilesFX dependency and the necessary plugins in the pom.xml file.

On the OpenJFX website you can find a lot of getting started documentation. But as one image/video says more than a thousand words, I created this short movie to show you that creating a new JavaFX project is just a matter of a few clicks with the JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.
