This is a simple currency converter application for demonstrating Java FX. The application was initially created in IntelliJ using SDK 20 before the SDK was updated to 21 to match the version used by the Gluon SceneBuilder application. There is a duplicate repository that contains a Java Swing version of the same application for comparison.
Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11 Java SDK 20 or 21
An exe file has been created from the JAR file using the launch4J application. -Download the CConverter.exe file
-Double click the CConverter.exe file.
To run the application download all the files in the release. Method 1 worked on Windows 10 Pro but generated an error on Windows 11 Pro. If you receive a "Java Exception has occurred" message when double clicking the JAR file. Use method 2.
- Simplest way to run is by double clicking the exe file.
The Currency Converter application has been tested on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and Microsoft Windows 11 Pro. The program has been tested with the following SDKs,
- Java 20
- Java 21
Yes, it has been kept simple to illustrate the basic structure of the program. It could be extended but how the currencies and demonstration currency exchange rates are included would need to updated for ease of use.
No, the project is based on Maven so can be built in other IDEs or from the command line if the appropriate tools are installed.
