render a graphstream graph into javafx

The idea is to show a graphstream graph embedded in a Javafx simple GUI. There is not much info on the net about this. graphstream has a github (which has a lot of errors like not finding the gs-algo in maven) and the code produces errors. I created a minimal JavaFX project with empty Controller and fxml file. The Application file is below. The first group of lines is a normal graphstream graph which shows ok on a SEPARATE window. The next two groups are trying to show it inside the javafx window.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import org.graphstream.graph.Graph;
import org.graphstream.graph.implementations.SingleGraph;
import org.graphstream.ui.swingViewer.GraphRenderer;

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();

        Graph graph = new SingleGraph("Graph");
        graph.addNode("1"); graph.addNode("2"); graph.addNode("3");
        graph.addEdge("1-->2","1","2", true);
        graph.addEdge("1-->3","1","3", true);

        /* These 3 lines show correctly a graph, ON A SEPARATE WINDOW */
        Viewer viewer = new Viewer(graph, Viewer.ThreadingModel.GRAPH_IN_GUI_THREAD);
        viewer = graph.display(true);
        viewer.enableAutoLayout();

        // Those below both do not work. I tried many vestions of gs-ui-javafx but ...
        //https://github.com/graphstream/gs-ui-javafx/blob/master/src-test/org/graphstream/ui/viewer_fx/test/AllFxTest.java
        FxViewer fxviewer = new FxViewer(graph, FxViewer.ThreadingModel.GRAPH_IN_ANOTHER_THREAD);
        FxGraphRenderer renderer = new FxGraphRenderer();
        FxDefaultView view = (FxDefaultView) fxviewer.addView(FxViewer.DEFAULT_VIEW_ID, renderer);

        /* https://github.com/graphstream/gs-ui-javafx/blob/master/src-test/org/graphstream/ui/viewer_fx/test/AllFxTest.java */
        FxViewer v = new FxViewer(graph, FxViewer.ThreadingModel.GRAPH_IN_GUI_THREAD);
        v.enableAutoLayout();
        FxViewPanel panel = (FxViewPanel)v.addDefaultView(false, new GraphRenderer());
        Scene scene2 = new Scene(panel, 800, 600);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene2);
    }

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

Important Note: If you want to use Maven to import the needed libraries (highly recommended) you need to first import the jitpack.io repository to maven.

There's some confusion in your code. You can properly use Javafx in the version 2 of Graphstream, but in this version, you can't do 

Viewer viewer = new Viewer(graph, Viewer.ThreadingModel.GRAPH_IN_GUI_THREAD);

because Viewer became an abstract class as you can see here :

This means that you doesn't use the good version of graphstream. If you want to use javafx, then you should use gs-core, gs-algo and gs-ui-javafx at the 2.0-alpha version as explained in the README here.

Then you can find some example here to help you.
