Can I create a class from an object?












-2















for example, I use
Rectangle pinkSquare = FXMLLoader.load(Paths.get("layout", "Pink square.fxml").toUri().toURL())
created a Rectangle object. Can I make a class out of pinkSquare object, say PinkSquare and use it freely for create more objects?



I know I can use FXMLLoader to do this again, but can I create a class from pinkSquare anyway?

  • @Chester You can't create classes at runtime*. You create instances of classes at runtime. (*well, technically you can, but you shouldn't)

There's no built in way to do that but you could extend Rectangle class and create a method that returns a deep copy of it. However, that's just unnecessary work when you could just use FXMLLoader again, unless there's some significant performance gain from deep copying compared to loading the FXML, but I highly doubt that's the case.
