This week, I focused on FXML and Menu bars for JavaFX. FXML is an XML based language that lets the user build a GUI without application logic. First, you make the main class and define the stage and scene. Than you change the import statements in the FXML file to include what you intend to work with. The elements the FXML file deals with can also be done in a .java file. FXML files are a little bit cleaner and it is easier to see what elements are nested. JavaFX can also use CSS to add style. In the JavaFX specific CSS, not every CSS statement works without issue. There are some limitations to its CSS abilities. When I was using Eclipse, with a few JavaFX plugins, there was still no JavaFX CSS specific help offered with code completion. Overall, JavaFX is a great way to make GUIs and I would definitely use it in the future.
