Class FxSpringApplication

java.lang.Object

javafx.application.Application

moe.tristan.easyfxml.spring.application.FxSpringApplication

@SpringBootApplication
public abstract class FxSpringApplication
extends javafx.application.Application

This class is a convenience boilerplate set-up for you to mix JavaFX and Spring together. It is absolutely not needed but I believe one could find peace in not having to deal with the configuration of two frameworks.

The usage is examplified in this project's documentation over at Tristan971/EasyFXML.

The gist of it is that your "main" class is expected to extend this class instead of Application (which this one does extend anyway) and that you just declare your main function with a call to Application.launch(String...). Then it is expected that your main class is annotated with SpringBootApplication (it is not really needed but IDEs have a better time when they see it on a project class rather than in a library due to non-inheritance of annotations in Java) and also with Import(FxSpringContext).

This class initializes the application with a call to beforeSpringInit(), then initializing Spring, then calling afterSpringInit(). These tho methods can be overriden and you can do calls to springContext in afterSpringInit(), should you need to do things that require Spring before the UI loads (or beforeSpringInit() in the case of things to do before Spring is even started.

When initialization is done, this class calls your implementation of FxUiManager. You can of course bypass that, should you not like the layout of FxUiManager, by overriding start(Stage).
