A simple JavaFX-based Wikipedia browser application. This application allows users to search for Wikipedia articles directly from a simple user interface.
Before you can run the application, you need to ensure you have the following installed:
- Java Development Kit (JDK): You need Java 8 or higher. You can download from Oracle. You may also be able to use an OpenJDK distribution (e.g. Adoptium).
- Apache Maven: This project uses Maven to manage dependencies and build process. Download and install it from Apache Maven.
Here are the steps to get the application up and running:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone [<your-github-repo-url>](https://github.com/JeninSutradhar/SimpleWikiBrowserJava) cd SimpleWikiBrowser
Replace
[<your-github-repo-url>](https://github.com/JeninSutradhar/SimpleWikiBrowserJava)with the actual URL of your GitHub repository. -
Build the project using Maven:
mvn clean install
This command will download any required dependencies (like JavaFX and jsoup), compile the source code and package it into a form that can be executed.
-
Run the application:
mvn javafx:run
This will start the JavaFX application :)
- Dependency Issues: If you encounter errors during the
mvn clean installstep, make sure Maven is correctly configured and that you have a stable internet connection to download the project's dependencies. - Java Version: Ensure that you are using a version of Java 8 or later as specified in the
pom.xmlfile. - JavaFX: JavaFX is needed for this application. If you face a javaFX error message, you should review if your Maven install is using correctly JavaFX.
