Figure 13-12. Adding the ScalaFX jar file to your project
Now you are ready to create your first ScalaFX application. To start, we create a very simple ScalaFX application
that shows a Stage and Scene with a single Label inside it. This is the Hello World of JavaFX applications, and will
ensure that all your project settings are correct and you are ready to build larger applications.
To create a new ScalaFX class, choose New Scala Object from the File menu. This opens a wizard in which
you can set the name of your class to HelloScalaFX and select the scalafx.application.JFXApp class from which it
should extend. On completing the wizard, Eclipse will create a stub class for you.
To complete the example, you need to add a Stage , Scene , and Label to your application. The full code for the
Hello ScalaFX application is shown in Listing 13-10.
