Cross compile Java/Swing program for Raspberry Pi, with Netbeans 8

This video show how to cross compile Java/Swing program for Raspberry Pi, on PC running Netbeans.



Currently, I cannot remote run the Java/Swing program on Raspberry Pi within Netbeans IDE, caused by "No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it". But it can create the runnable jar in Raspberry Pi. You can login Raspberry Pi and run the jar locally.

You need to:
- Install JDK 8 on Raspberry Pi
- Set up Java SE 8 Remote Platform on Netbeans 8 for Raspberry Pi
- and know how to Run/Build JavaFX application on Raspberry Pi remotely from Netbeans 8

Code of this example:

package helloworldswing;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class HelloWorldSwing {

    private static void createAndShowGUI() {

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello Swing@Raspberry Pi");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));

        JLabel label = new JLabel();
        label.setText(
            "Hello: " 
            + System.getProperty("os.arch") + "/"
            + System.getProperty("os.name"));
        
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
    
}

Updated@2015-12-06: Solution of "No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it":

Refer to karczas' comment in YouTube video, The solution of 0:50 error (No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it) which will allow you to run and debug GUI application directly from NetBeans and display their content on your RaspPi (or BeagleBone Black):
