Introduction
Creating compelling and engaging user interfaces is an art best left to the professionals. The
JavaFX engineers understood this fact. That is why they released tools that make it possible
for graphics artists to work side-by-side with developers, allowing creative content to be easily
integrated as a part of the development workflow.
In this chapter, we are going to explore the different options available to developers to
integrate creative content into their JavaFX code using the JavaFX Production Suite. These
tools, distributed separately from the JavaFX SDK, include plugins for best-of-breed graphics
packages, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Designers can export their artwork
directly from these graphics packages into a JavaFX file format, FXZ, consumable within
JavaFX projects.
