Build and Run

Run this project by executing the maven target javafx:run. If you wish to build this project into an executable (a jar file), you have to manually set up an artifact in Project Structure... in IDEA. Check Help On JavaFX from IntelliJ IDEA Edu to get to know about JavaFX project structure.

Packaging

Before packaging, you need to download OpenJFX libraries since JavaFX is no longer bundled in JDK since version 9. Note that only the latest version of JavaFX can be downloaded, LTS version downloads are paid services.

To produce a standalone jar executable:

1. In Project Structure, go to Artifacts tab on the left.
2. Click the + button at the top, select JAR | From modules with dependencies...
3. Select the Main Class which is NOT extended from the Application class (a packaging bug workaround), in this case, BlackjackLauncher. Then click OK.
4. In the artifact setup you just created, click the + button in Output Layout, select File.
5. Browse to the directory where you installed/extracted javafx-sdk, under /bin directory, hold Shift and select all *.dll files, click OK.
6. Now you can build the artifact in your IDEA by selecting Build | Build Artifacts... | Build, the output file is under /out/artifacts

If you also wish to convert the jar file into a Windows executable, you could use launch4j.
