Compiling and running with javFX

Question

I'm not able to run this code. I got this from oracle tutorials. It's a simple hello world application.earlier I wasn't able to compile it but now after including the path for jfxrt.jar file in classpath I'm able to compile but now not able to run.

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

class A extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler < ActionEvent > () {


            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println("Hello World!");
            }
        });

        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(btn);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
        primaryStage.show();
    }
}

I'm getting these following errors :

        ... 3 more

Help me out,how to resolve this. Thanks

Answer 1

Make your class public

public class A extends Application

then it should work.

Anyway, do you need another import-Statement? I think the import for ActionEvent is missing:

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
