Mastering JavaFX 10

Making our own module

To make most of the modularization, we should start with creating our own module:

1. First, let's see which modules are used in our small applications using the jdeps tool:

        "$JAVA_HOME/bin/jdeps" --generate-module-info . dist/SimpleApp.jar

This call will generate a module-info.java file that describes our application as a module:

        module chapterEleven {            requires javafx.base;            requires javafx.controls;            requires transitive javafx.fxml;            requires transitive javafx.graphics;             exports chapterEleven;        }  

We see that our application depends on only four modules (and java.base, which is always included).

2. Unfortunately, jdeps missed one more thing, which we need to add manually:

        opens chapterEleven to javafx.fxml;

This line is ...
