Eclipse4 with JavaFx using efxClipse [message #1053860]

I followed Tutorial4 here: http://www.efxclipse.org/trac/wiki/Tutorial4
to create a JavaFx Aplication

I Added 1 Trimmed Window to the Aplication.e4xmi

Problem:
Indeed, when I launch the product - the applicaiton starts, the preview in the superbar show a window, see pic

But when I click on the application in the superbar - nothing happens. The window does not show up.

OS:
Wndows 7 X64
Java 1.7.0_21-b11 X64

The X,Y and width/height of the created window get some default value which is inconsistent with the fx renderers. Use 10,10 for x,y and e.g. 300, 500 for w/h.

Thnx Sopot, but using 10,10 for x,y and 300, 500 for w/h. did not work.
Any other ideas?
Which plugin is responsible for providing the JavaFx renderers?
Where can I lookup the right position / size?

Is there any tutorial about using JavaFx with e4 which is up to date and workin?

Are you sure you are not coming now from a restored state - I'd suggest
to ask at e(fx)clipse and JavaFX questions on our forum [1] or the
newsgroup at eclipse.org (eclipse.efxclipse).

I've also filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409112 to
deal with this IMHO extremly dumb SWT-Default settings for x/y.

So some meta information might help to better understand your problem.

a) what version of JavaFX and e(fx)clipse are you using
b) do you also see the window in the preview but not on screen?
c) did you update the values in the TrimmedWindow
d) did you make sure that the launch config clears your workspace from
a previous launch?

The best way we can help tracking down your problem is that you are
working against our git-master and nightly build which is fairly stable
already:

The process looks like this:
* download the latest stable 4.3 build from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
* add the following update-site
http://downloads.efxclipse.org/eclipse.org/p2-repos/ide/nightly/ via
"Install New Software" and install e(fx)clipse - IDE - Kepler
* create a target platform pointing it to
http://downloads.efxclipse.org/eclipse.org/p2-repos/runtime/nightly/ and
*uncheck "Include required software"*
* generate a new application using the wizard

The latest build already has the fix for

Thank you very much! It was because of d) and with the clearPersistedState flag it worked.

If you are starting with e(fx)clipse I'd still suggest to use the
nightly stuff because all namespaces, ... are changing.

We have reports from customers that their application work on the
nightly so I things are generally speaking in good shape already.

I'll try to work on all-in-one downloads but it will take some more days
until they are available.
