Command line “Hello World!” in JavaFX

Download JavaFX SDK. Install it, and have its bin folder in your PATH.

Open your favorite text editor, and write:

println("Hello World!");
java.lang.System.exit(0);

Save the file as A.fx. To compile the code:

$ javafxc A.fx

This will generate the class file A.class. To run the application:

$ javafx A

Isn’t it simple?
