Student Management Application

A JavaFX MVC project built with Maven.

How to Open in IntelliJ IDEA

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA
2. Click "Open" (NOT "New Project")
3. Navigate to and select the StudentManagementApp folder
4. IntelliJ will detect the pom.xml — click "Open as Maven Project" when prompted
5. Wait for Maven to download dependencies (needs internet, ~1 minute)

How to Run

Option A — Run directly from IntelliJ

1. Open src/main/java/application/Main.java
2. Click the green ▶ Run button next to the main() method

Option B — Run via Maven Terminal

In the IntelliJ terminal at the bottom, type:

mvn javafx:run

Requirements

• Java 17 or higher
• IntelliJ IDEA (Community or Ultimate)
• Internet connection (first time only, to download JavaFX via Maven)
