Rendezvous
For those people who spend their time visiting people this application is perfect. Rendezvous allows you to enter all your appointments. As the appointment time approaches a text reminder is sent to the person you are visiting to remind them of the appointment. The month, week, and day calendar views allow you to see upcoming appointments.
Breakout4J
Breakout4J is a JavaFX single-player game based on the old Atri games console game called Breakout. This is the application that students build from the ground up as part of the online course “How to design and build your first real application in JavaFX”.
Creating an MSI installer from a JavaFX 11 modular desktop application
This is a follow-on article for building Java desktop applications using OpenJDK11 and OpenJFX 11. See
- Making a Windows MSI from a Java 11 and JavaFX 11 Desktop application
- Create a Linux Debian package from JavaFX 11 desktop application
In this article, we are, like the previous articles, going to build the whole application using the command line.
The software tools we will use in this article are:
- OpenJDK 11
- OpenJFX 11
- OpenJFX 11 modules
- JPackager
- Wix Toolset 3.11
See the earlier article Making a Windows MSI from a Java 11 and JavaFX 11 Desktop application for more information about these tools
What is different here is firstly the application is going to take advantage of the modular system introduced in Java 9. Secondly, we are going to build a Java Runtime Environment that includes the JavaFX modules our application requires. We will then package up the Java application with the JRE however, this will leave us with a JRE for any other Java applications providing the modules they need are included in the JRE.

Create a Linux Debian package from JavaFX 11 desktop application
As a software developer, my focus is on building Java Desktop applications for the Windows operating system. Therefore, most of the material I produce is centered around this. However, in this article, I am venturing into the world of Linux as I know there are many people who use Linux as their platform. Continue reading “Create a Linux Debian package from JavaFX 11 desktop application”
Making a Windows MSI from a Java 11 and JavaFX 11 Desktop application
Making a Windows MSI from a Java 11 and JavaFX 11 Desktop application
With the advent of Java 9 and the introduction of 6 monthly release cycles, the Java Desktop landscape has changed considerably. If you find yourself looking to build Desktop applications using JavaFX and present them as self-contained applications, then take note. Continue reading “Making a Windows MSI from a Java 11 and JavaFX 11 Desktop application”
Showcasing a deployable JavaFX application
What is the point of writing an application if no one is going to use it? We all want our applications out there in the hands of users.
So how can we achieve this if we are building JavaFX applications for the desktop? Continue reading “Showcasing a deployable JavaFX application”
Designing and Building JavaFX Text to Speech Tester
This is the last in the series about writing applications which convert text to speech. We started off the journey by introducing the final product, a Speech Tester JavaFX application.
It is this application that we are going to design and build here.

JavaFX and adding basic speech
In the last post we took a look at a small application to demonstrate making our program speak and the various voices and settings that can be used to alter the sound.
In this post, we are going to build a small proof of concept project to load the FreeTTS synthesiser and start to use it. Continue reading “JavaFX and adding basic speech”
