It's here! Basilisk 0.0.0 has just been released! You can grab it from Bintray and JCenter immediately!
Following the steps of the first Griffon release (0.0 back in 2008) Basilisk brings high productivity and fun to mobile/desktop JavaFx application development. This release includes the following goodies:
- ready made Lazybones templates for creating applications and plugins.
- gradle ready build file.
- same feature set as Griffon 2.4.0 plus some goodies coming in Griffon 2.5.0.
Want to take it for a spin? Here's how you can get a Basilisk application running in no time
The recommended way to get started with a Basilisk project is to use a Lazybones project template and Gradle. You can install these tools with SDKMAN.
$ curl -s http://get.sdkman.io | bash
$ sdk install lazybones
$ sdk install gradle
Next register the basilisk-lazybones-templates repository with Lazybones' config file. Edit $USER_HOME/.lazybones/config.groovy
bintrayRepositories = [
"basilisk/basilisk-lazybones-templates",
"pledbrook/lazybones-templates"
]
List all available templates by invoking the following command
$ lazybones list
Available templates in basilisk/basilisk-lazybones-templates
basilisk-javafx-ios
basilisk-plugin
Select a starting template from the list and invoke the create command
$ lazybones create basilisk-javafx-ios sample
Compile, run and test the project with any of these commands
$ gradle build
$ gradle test
$ gradle run
$ gradle launchIPhoneSimulator
Also have a look at basilisk-samples, a repository that will contain reference and sample applications as time passes by.
