Need help with Smartdashboard SFX

[Irene-4574]

Hey everyone,
I have been trying to utilize custom Java controls for the new SmartDashboard, but the tutorials FIRST provides are a little unclear. I can't seem to get the new control in the SmartDashboard. If someone could just point me in the right direction or link me to a better tutorial that would be great. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is the exact code from the tutorial:

package com.example;

import dashfx.controls.DataAnchorPane;
import dashfx.lib.controls.Category;
import dashfx.lib.controls.DashFXProperties;
import dashfx.lib.controls.Designable;
import dashfx.lib.controls.GroupType;
import dashfx.lib.data.DataCoreProvider;
import dashfx.lib.data.SmartValue;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Ellipse;

/**

@Category("Tutorial")
@Designable(value = "X-Y Location", description = "A control to show x/y position in a range")
@GroupType("xyLocation")
@DashFXProperties("Sealed: true, Save Children: false")

public class xyLocation extends DataAnchorPane {
   
    
    private SmartValue xValue;
    private SmartValue yValue;
    private Ellipse ellipse;
    
   @Override

    public void registered(DataCoreProvider provider)
    {
        super.registered(provider);
        unwatch();
      // if we are being registered, then we can finally get the x and y variable
      // otherwise just unwatch as we are being unregistered
	if (provider != null)
	{
            xValue = getObservable("x");
            yValue = getObservable("y");
            rewatch();
	}
    }
    private void rewatch()
    {
        xValue.addListener(xchange);
        yValue.addListener(ychange);
    }
    
    private void unwatch()
    {
        // this function un-binds all the variable
        if (xValue != null)
            xValue.removeListener(xchange);
        if (yValue != null)
            yValue.removeListener(ychange);
    }
        
    private ChangeListener
        ychange = new ChangeListener<Object>() {
            @Override
                public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Object> ov, Object t, Object t1)
                {
                    ellipse.setCenterY(yValue.getData().asNumber() + 10); // offset by radius
                }
	},
        xchange = new ChangeListener<Object>() {
            @Override
                public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Object> ov, Object t, Object t1)
                {
                    ellipse.setCenterX(xValue.getData().asNumber() + 10); // offset by radius
                }
	};
        
        // we are displaying results pse = new Ellipse(10, 10, 10, 10);by moving the ellipse. initialize it here
   
    
    ellipse = new Ellipse(10,10,10,10);
    ellipse.setFill(Color.LIGHTBLUE);
    this.getChildren().add(ellipse); // we inherited from DAP so just add it to ourselves
    nameProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>()
    {
         @Override
         public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> ov, String t, String t1)
         {
             unwatch();
                try
                {
                    xValue = getObservable("x");
                    yValue = getObservable("y");
                    rewatch();
                }
                catch(NullPointerException n)
                {
                  //fail, ignore, as we must not be registered yet
                }
        }
    });     
     
}

Following those instructions top to bottom should work.

The only thing I can think of is you forgot to create a manifest.yaml in the jar
