2. Setting Up
Setting Up
To use TornadoFX, there are several options to set up the dependency for your project.
Mainstream build automation tools like Gradle and Maven are supported and should have no
issues in getting set up.
Please note that TornadoFX is a Kotlin library, and therefore your project needs to be
configured to use Kotlin. For Gradle and Maven configurations, please refer to the Kotlin
Gradle Setup and Kotlin Maven Setup guides. Make sure your development environment or
IDE is equipped to work with Kotlin and has the proper plugins and compilers.
This guide will use Intellij IDEA to walk through certain examples. IDEA is the IDE of choice
to work with Kotlin, although Eclipse has a plugin as well.
Gradle
For Gradle, you can set up the dependency directly from Maven Central. Provide the desired
version number for the x.y.z placeholder.
repositories {
}
mavenCentral()
// Minimum jvmTarget of 1.8 needed since Kotlin 1.1
compileKotlin {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget= 1.8
}
dependencies {
}
compile 'no.tornado:tornadofx:x.y.z'
Maven
To import TornadoFX with Maven, add the following dependency to your POM file. Provide
the desired version number for the x.y.z placeholder.
