该项目主要针对JavaFX 8.0（捆绑在JDK 8中），考虑到JavaFX中已经包含了一些控件，ControlsFX只会包含新的控件和功能，并且还有一个完善的javadoc文档。
ControlsFX包含的主要特性如下：
1. 按钮栏
这是一个按钮容器，可以自动根据底层操作系统来将按钮放置到正确的位置，开发者只需标注按钮的类型，该容器会自动完成剩余工作。
需要注意的是，
ControlsFX目前只支持JavaFX 8.0 b87（捆绑在JDK8 b87版本中）及更高版本，
如果你使用的是JDK 8早期版本，则需要
升级
。JavaFX
2.x及之前版本不受支持。

ControlsFX is an
open source project
for JavaFX that aims to provide really high quality UI controls and other tools to complement the
core JavaFX distribution. It has been developed for JavaFX 8.0 and beyond, and has a guiding principle of only accepting new controls / features when all existing code is at an acceptably high level, including thankless jobs like having high quality javadoc
documentation. This ensure a high quality release is available at all times, with all experimental work being done in branches of the main code base.
Important note:
ControlsFX will only work on JavaFX 8.0 b118 or later. If you are running on earlier versions of JDK 8, please
upgrade
.
If you are still using JavaFX 2.x then unfortunately this library will not work for you.
Getting Started
If you want to
play with
the ControlsFX sample application, either clone the ControlsFX repo from bitbucket and then run the
org.controlsfx.HelloControlsFX
application
that resides within the
src/samples/java
directory, or run the samples jar file from
the command line with the following command (or a variation depending on your operating system):
java -cp controlsfx-8.0.3.jar:controlsfx-8.0.3-samples.jar org.controlsfx.HelloControlsFX
If you think you have a feature
you can contribute
, a bug you want to fix, or have a bug youd like to file, please direct it to the
issue
tracker over at the ControlsFX bitbucket website
.
If you
want to use
ControlsFX, then youre probably wondering how to use the API that weve slaved over for hours! In your case, the best and definitive location for help is definitely
our
javadocs
. Fear not, these are not a barren wasteland of undescribed functionality weve poured our hearts into making these javadocs full to the brim of examples, commentary and explanation. If anything is unclear to you,
file
a bug in our issue tracker
and well do our best to update the documentation straight away!
If you
have questions
, you should join the the
mailing list
.
Another great place to explore is our
sample code
, all located in the
src/samples
directory
of our
code repository
. Weve put a bunch of effort into making these examples something
you can learn from.
Release Versioning
ControlsFX has a slightly different approach to version numbers than other projects. We use the fairly traditional x.y.z numbering system, except in the case of ControlsFX, the x.y portion is used to represent the base JavaFX version required. In other words,
ControlsFX 8.0.0 is the first release of ControlsFX to work on JavaFX 8.0 and above. ControlsFX 8.1.5 (if we ever release that version) is used to represent that the release will work on JavaFX 8.1 (and not JavaFX 8.0), and is the 6th release (remember: real
programmers count from zero
).
In other words, we do not differentiate between bug fix and feature releases we will clarify what the release contains on a per-release basis. Also, we will always aim to require the minimal version of JavaFX possible, but we are also not going to hold back
features / bug fixes / etc if we can resolve them by moving to a newer release. Prior to moving up to a new JavaFX version we will always tag the
repository
and
make available a download of the source and compiled code for the earlier version, for people who are unable to move to the newer JavaFX release.
Downloads
The library can be downloaded from from
ControlsFX website
. It is possible to download the current release (8.0.3), or also current
development snapshots from Maven Central using the following dependency settings:
Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>org.controlsfx</groupId>
<artifactId>controlsfx</artifactId>
<version>8.0.3</version>
</dependency>
Gradle
dependencies {
runtime 'org.controlsfx:controlsfx:8.0.3'
<dependency org="org.controlsfx" name="controlsfx" rev="8.0.3"/>
libraryDependencies += "org.controlsfx" % "controlsfx" % "8.0.3"

suggests to us that it is business friendly, requiring only the redistribution of the 3-clause
BSD license we distribute with ControlsFX. As always, I suggest you review the license with the appropriate people, rather than take the advice of software engineers. If this license is not suitable, please contact Jonathan
