Neither decorations nor errors show up on controls about jidefx-oss

Since I don't have your code, I don't know exactly what you did. Please go through the ValidationDemo.java and compare it with your code. Maybe you will find what's wrong. If it still doesn't help, please create a simple test case and post it here so that we can look into it.

BTW, you may just post the question here instead of on the jide forum because I think jidefx users came here more often than the jidesoft website.

Thank you so much for taking the time!
OK, I created a tiny JavaFX with FXML application and included validation like I did in my real app - same thing happens. I see the two println() but no decoration appears on the textfield but it should, right? I included the compiled b128 JARs just in case. It is a Netbeans 8.0.1 project and I tried it with JDK 1.8.0_25

Screenshot attached is what the app looks like for me AFTER I clicked the button several times... no decoration or error visible.

You need to wrap the pane into a DecorationPane. Search for code "new DecorationPane(pane)" in the ValidationDemo. DecorationPane is required to paint the decorators.

Thanks so much, now it works!
Maybe DecorationPane could be able to be instantiated by FXML because at the moment I cannot just import and add to the fxml; I get an exception.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: jidefx.scene.control.decoration.DecorationPane.()

You won't be able to use FXML because DecorationPane doesn't have an empty constructor. It has to take a Parent as parameter for its only constructor.
