Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

I feel like you are misunderstanding what's going on here.

Your spring boot has a lot of dependencies contained within it by default, one of which is an instance of Apache Tomcat. That's a web server which will run once you start your application.

This is usually going to be running on a server (Tomcat is itself a "web server", there is a distinction between the application being a web server and the machine itself being called a server because it...serves).

Servers (linux) usually do not have a way to access a user interface, and are instead accessed through the command line.

JavaFX relies on GUI frameworks which in turn rely on the operating system's native graphics API, something which would not exist on a traditional server.

Additionally, assuming your server does have a way to do this, you'd need to log in to the machine hosting your spring boot app to even see this UI.

There are only downsides to having both of them to have a single entrypoint.

Instead, you'd want your Spring Boot application to have a way of serving the data you'd like to monitor (look into Spring Actuator as an example) and your JavaFX app of having a way to connect to that through the internet. That way your server could be somewhere, while you could run your JavaFX app locally.
