Today JBoss community released Quarkus . I could not wait to test it. Projects can be generated using the following archetype: mvn io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:0.11.0:create      \     -DprojectGroupId=org.fxapps                        \     -DprojectArtifactId=quarkus-getting-started        \     -DclassName="org.fxapps.GreetingResource"          \     -Dpath="/hello"              With the project that was generated you can create native binaries and docker images from it.

See below a simple example. This results in: Conclusion Microprofile config works with JavaFX and this is great news. Microprofile is evolving quickly and JavaFX being able to work with it will give Java developers the ability to easily integrate desktop applications with java microservices.
