  • Method Details

    • checkForUpdate

      public static FXManifest checkForUpdate() throws IOException
      Check if a new version is available and return the manifest for the new version or null if no update.

      Note that updates will only be detected if the application was actually launched with FXLauncher.

      Returns:
      The manifest for the new version if available
      Throws:
      IOException

    • init

      public void init() throws Exception
      Initialize the UI Provider by looking for an UIProvider inside the launcher or fallback to the default UI.

      A custom implementation must be embedded inside the launcher jar, and /META-INF/services/fxlauncher.UIProvider must point to the new implementation class.

      You must do this manually/in your build right around the "embed manifest" step.

      Exception
