In general when we want to integrate Java with Arduino we can use the serial port for interaction, where arduino will receive commands and also write sensors information. This is greatly explained on JavaFX 8: Introduction by Example book on Arduino chapter. The problem with this approach is that you will end having to maintain two distinct codes in two different languages. Another approach is use JArduino , which allows you to write Java code to directly interact with arduino! What you should do is follow the procedure from README file in JArduino page to install the firmware in your arduino board, then build a maven project that has jarduino as a maven dependency to start building Java applications that uses arduino. Since it is Java we can use JavaFX, JavaEE and all the Java APIs! Problems I always start writing before having something working (that's the reason why I had more than 50 draft posts on this blog). So I faced some unwanted issue and I had to figure out a few...
