Prototypic example on how one could use Spring-Boot with JavaFX under Java 8.
Run with mvn spring-boot:run
or
Run with java -jar target/spring-boot-javafx-demo.jar
If you want to use a custom JavaFX preloader you can specify it via the -Djavafx.preloader system property.
E.g.:
java -jar -Djavafx.preloader=demo.AppPreloader target/spring-boot-javafx-demo.jar
