## Description

Demo project for integrating _Spring Boot_ and _JavaFX_. The Demo has the following features:

1. Simple working sample code for a small desktop application.
2. Configuration for _maven_ or _gradle_ project to use _JavaFX_ with _Spring Boot_, with the appropriate maven artifact.
   dependencies for basic development.
3. Uses recent, reasonably up-to-date _JavaFX_ modules, with consistent versions.
4. Demonstrates placing an _FXML_ file in a resource directory, and looking it up as a resource at runtime.
5. Properly separates a controller class from the application class.
6. Demonstrates how to bootstrap _JavaFX_ application using _Spring Boot_.
