I am using FontAwesomeFX in my project and added a FontAwesomeIconView inside a button with glyph name property set to WINDOW_MINIMIZE. This part can be seen as XML as below.

<Button fx:id="minimizeButton" mnemonicParsing="false">
   <graphic>
      <FontAwesomeIconView fill="WHITE" glyphName="WINDOW_MINIMIZE" />
   </graphic>
</Button>

The problem is, it shows up successfully in SceneBuilder as seen below:

FontAwesomeIconView WINDOW_MINIMIZE

However, when I boot up the program, I see these in debug logs:

Dec 21, 2017 11:49:50 PM de.jensd.fx.glyphs.GlyphIcon updateIcon
SEVERE: Icon 'WINDOW_MINIMIZE' not found. Using 'ANCHOR' (default) instead

And the application shows ANCHOR instead of WINDOW_MINIMIZE.

FontAwesomeIconView Anchor icon

I have also applied this CSS rule due to sizing problems with FontAwesomeIconViews according to this answer (just in case it is related to the problem):

.glyph-icon{ -fx-font-family:"FontAwesome"; }

Why Different Imports in SceneBuilder and Maven

As you can see in Environment section below, I imported different thing in my Maven configuration file and SceneBuilder.

Well, the reason is, oddly, SceneBuilder does not see FontAwesomeIconView when you import de.jensd:fontawesomefx:8.9, that's why I imported de.jensd:fontawesomefx-fontawesome:4.7.0-9.1.2 in SceneBuilder and it works well with Maven import.

So, why didn't I do the other way? I mean, why didn't I import de.jensd:fontawesomefx-fontawesome:4.7.0-9.1.2 in my pom.xml. Strangely, it is compiled in Java 9 and my project is running on Java 8. Naturally, it threw class version exception or something like that. Also, I didn't have any idea if the migration to Java 9 would cause more trouble, so I didn't import it in pom.xml.

Environment

  • Java 1.8.0_151
  • JavaFX 8.0.151 build 12
  • SceneBuilder 9.0.1
  • de.jensd:fontawesomefx-fontawesome:4.7.0-9.1.2 (Scenebuilder)
  • [GroupID] de.jensd [ArtifactID] fontawesomefx [Version] 8.9 (in pom.xml)

Well, I dig through a bit and saw that, oddly, FontAwesomeIcon enum in de.jensd:fontawesomefx:8.9 (which is the latest version in Maven Central Repository) does not contain any WINDOW_MINIMIZE icon.

That's why, I changed my icon to something else that is in FontAwesomeIcon. That solved my issue for now, yet this question is still open for further answers.

    Did you see this at the project's [repo](https://bitbucket.org/Jerady/fontawesomefx) `Since FontAwesomeFX 8.10 I moved to Bintray, so you have to add the bintray repo to you build file as it is not yet available at Maven Central!`. You have new releases [here](https://bintray.com/jerady/maven/FontAwesomeFX/view). – José Pereda Dec 21 '17 at 22:27
  • Whoa, I seem to not recognize it, let me try it. I will add further details to this answer. Thanks. – Eray Erdin Dec 21 '17 at 22:30
