IST 311 Group Project - Includes Project Files

LionX

This is a group assignment for IST 311. This application was built using OpenJFX 11.

Development

Ensure you have Maven downloaded for CLI interfacing.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Triippz/LionX

Enter the directory

cd LionX

Make a copy of .env.example for use

mv .env.example .env

Add in the API KEY for news

NEWS_API_KEY=<API_KEY_HERE>

Run the maven goal for JavaFX 11

mvn javafx:run

Run tests

mvn test

Since JavaFX is no longer bundled with the JDK it can be some work to run JavaFX using an IDE configuration, if you have no experience. If using IntelliJ on MacOS, you need to ensure you point your VM options to any applicable JavaFX modules you wish to use. This should suffice on mac.

--module-path lib/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.web --add-exports javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.sg.prism=ALL-UNNAMED

It may be easier just to run the Maven goals from within IntelliJ for debugging and running.

Another alternative, is from the terminal. Ensure you have maven installed and run the javafx goal

mvn javafx:run

Build

Run the maven goal to build a 'Fat Jar' (not configured)

mvn package

Execute the Binary

./LionX.jar

or

java -jar LionX

Notes

To ensure we have a database for submission it has been added to the root of the project root directory it is named H2DB, you will find, as you guessed it, a file-based H2 datastore.

This project uses:

• Java 11
• OpenJFX 11
• Hibernate
• DHCP for connection pooling
• Java-Stellar-SDK for Stellar Lumens integration
• ControlsFX for more JavaFX components
