Update JavaFX UI from another thread

by

I’m running into a similar issue, as far as I can tell you have to deal with the error handling yourself. My solution is to update the UI via a method call:

Something like:

  try
  {
    //blah...
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
    reportAndLogException(e);
  }
  ...
  public void reportAndLogException(final Throwable t)
  {
    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
      @Override public void run() {
        //Update UI here     
      }
    });
  }

Essentially I am just manually moving it back to the UI Thread for an update (as I would do in pretty much any other framework).
