Hi, I am trying something which I thought would technically be the easiest way of migrating parts of an existing application from Swing to JFX, i.e. have a Swing JMenuItem trigger the showing of a JFX stage because I thought this would technically even be cleaner than to have a swing dialog containing an JFXPanel.
Doing this results in the following Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.runLater(PlatformImpl.java:276) ~[jfxrt.jar:na] at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.runLater(PlatformImpl.java:271) ~[jfxrt.jar:na] at javafx.application.Platform.runLater(Platform.java:78) ~[jfxrt.jar:na] at de.lesspain.mediatool.menu.ToolsSubmenu$1.actionPerformed(ToolsSubmenu.java:20) ~[ javadoc of runLater states: This method must not be called before the FX runtime has been initialized. For standard JavaFX applications that extend Application, and use either the Java launcher or one of the launch methods in the Application class to launch the application, the FX runtime is initialized by the launcher before the Application class is loaded. For Swing applications that use JFXPanel to display FX content, the FX runtime is initialized when the first JFXPanel instance is constructed. So this is consistent. Still I am wondering, why it should not be supported to just trigger opening a stage from a Swing menu? Either by Platform.runLater autoinitializing or offering a separate method like Platform.ensureInitialized(). Am I missing something obvious? Thanks, Robert
