Make Your Clients Richer: JavaFX and the NetBeans Platform

The NetBeans platform is known for its comprehensive window framework and loosely coupled architecture. JavaFX offers a rich set of visually appealing GUI components. This tutorial shows you how to use both to enhance the user experience in desktop client applications.

In the tutorial, you will learn how to integrate JavaFX into a NetBeans application. You will start with a basic application that generates data. You will then create a NetBeans module that includes a dynamic JavaFX chart component. This chart component leverages JavaFX bindings to visually animate data as the values change. The result includes an application with a sophisticated out-of-the-box GUI coupled with flashy, JavaFX-powered animations.
