Compile Code Using JavaFX 2.0 via Command Line

To compile code using JavaFX from Windows, you must leverage the Java Compiler and specify the correct classpath.

Java 8 (Oracle and OpenJDK)

Oracle Java 8 and Newer: JavaFX classes are included in the default runtime classpath, allowing you to compile and run code using:

javac Fxservidor.java
java Fxservidor

OpenJDK 8: JavaFX sources require compilation and inclusion of the resultant jfxrt.jar in the classpath:

javac -classpath "$JAVAFX_SDK_HOME/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar" Fxservidor.java
java -classpath "$JAVAFX_SDK_HOME/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar:." Fxservidor

Java 7 (Including JavaFX 2.x)

For Java 7, the process is slightly different:

"%JDK_HOME%\bin\javac" -classpath "%JAVAFX_SDK_HOME%\rt\lib\jfxrt.jar" Fxservidor.java
java -classpath "%JAVAFX_SDK_HOME%\rt\lib\jfxrt.jar;." Fxservidor

Tips:

• JAVAFX_SDK_HOME and JDK_HOME should be adjusted to your installed locations.
• Append ;. (or :. for Unix) to the execution classpath to include the current directory.
• Use a modified version of the code for compilation:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Fxservidor extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
    @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
