thanks for addressing it 🙂

@permalmberg - maven makes picking up an existing project and running with it so much easier

@voddan Rx is not something you use to solve a single use case in an application. It's an entire approach that requires making everything reactive from the ground up

For the purposes of JavaFX, only use Rx if you like the idea of treating events and data as composable concurrent streams, or if you frequently find yourself in callback hell.

@gtnarg Perhaps , but moving from intellij to maven is a pain when you've never used maven before. Trust me, I know. 🙂 Just started over from scratch with a parent project so that I can use the maven

reactor

I'm learning though, so that is good

@permalmberg - but once you have the hang of it, my guess is that you will never start another project from intellij - maven will be your starting point

@gtnarg Well, I am still using intellij, but with pom-based projects

@gtnarg do you know if it is possible to list common dependencies in the parent pom so that I don't have to repeat them in several submodules?

@permalmberg - yes - any dependencies declared in the parent will be inherited

hm. I'm doing something wrong then 😛

@gtnarg Had to reload - now it works

there is also a

dependencyManagement

section which is used for declaring shared dependency versions

see http://stackoverflow.com/q/2619598

@gtnarg Thanks 🙂

Hm. It won't let me leave out the version number in the child module 😞

do you have the same dependency defined in the

dependencyManagement

section of the parent?

yeah

parent pom:

<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.eclipse.paho</groupId>
                <artifactId>org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3</artifactId>
                <version>1.1.0</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.github.permalmberg</groupId>
                <artifactId>ChainedFSM4J</artifactId>
                <version>v1.0.1</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>junit</groupId>
                <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
                <version>4.12</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

child pom:

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.paho</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.permalmberg</groupId>
            <artifactId>ChainedFSM4J</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

does it work for any of them (if you try one at a time)?

@voddan Are you doing something like this for your blinking?

@User uploaded a file: Animating a Property

@gtnarg One dep you mean? No

@carlw not exactly, I use 'textfield. bind(property)'

@permalmberg - what error do you see?

@gtnarg

'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.eclipse.paho:org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3:jar is missing.

oh, do you have to specify a parent pom?

@permalmberg - that was my next question 🙂

@gtnarg that was the problem. Kinda silly since you specify the child in the parent....

@permalmberg - the parent only has to reference the child if you want to do a multi module build - but the child does have to reference the parent
