GmapsFx loading with a warning and not giving directions about gmapsfx

[dlemmermann]

Just noticed that we have a Java 11+ branch. Please use 11.0.0. The Google API key is set like this: googleMapView.setKey("AIzaSyDKjhxxxBygmij6QIqkOsgPZ5eKyk");

[dlemmermann]

Which version are you using?

[LorenzoTomesani]

@dlemmermann i have the same issue. i'm using java 15.0.1 and javafx15.0.1

[dlemmermann]

Which GMapsFX version?

[LorenzoTomesani]

2.12.0

[dlemmermann]

Please upgrade to 8.0.0. The project ownership has been transferred and I am the new maintainer. Hence also the group ID has changed. Please change your dependency to

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.dlsc</groupId>
  <artifactId>GMapsFX</artifactId>
  <version>8.0.0</version>
</dependency>

[LorenzoTomesani]

i updated it, but it still gives me the same Alert. Where am i supposed to use the google api key? (if needed of course)
edit: it shows the map with "For development purpose only"

[dlemmermann]

It seems that the 11 release never arrived on Maven Central. Please add jcenter as another repository if you want to use it.

[dlemmermann]

I still have the exact same issues with java 11 and gmaps 11. did anyone find a solution
?

[nikelodeon2000]

If I use googleMapView.setKey("api-key"); in the initialize method the watermarks are gone for me.

[Nesta-gitU]

did you pay for a billing account on the google cloud website?

[nikelodeon2000]

I'm doing it for a University project and google gives you a free trial for 90 days, up to 300€. So no, I will cancel it after the free trial as well. Does anyone know how to properly protect my API key for a GMapsFX project?

[Nesta-gitU]

Same uni project I suppose. I need to do that too then

[Nesta-gitU]

btw yes there are some setting in the api dashboard for restricting usage of the key. Otherwise you would have to store it remotely but that won't work for our project since you need to send it to the TA eventually

[nikelodeon2000]

Yeah, I saw that but I'm not sure which protection method is the correct one for my project.
