Hi all. It’s a public holiday where I am in New Zealand today, so I’m going to keep this post brief as my todo list is long. Enjoy! 🙂
- This week a new release of Java 7 was made available, taking the versions to JDK 7u51 and JavaFX 2.2.51. In conjunction with this there is now updated documentation.
- Speaking of new releases, Scene Builder 2.0 b10 is now available for download for your testing.
- James Denvir has two blog posts up on his site. The first post covers ‘JavaFX TableViews with ContextMenus‘, and the second post covers ‘Reusable Row and Cell Factories for TableViews that generate ContextMenus‘. James is a hard working contributor to the JavaFX forum, offering plenty of support to users of JavaFX.
- Tom Schindl has posted a screenshot of early progress on getting SWT to render with JavaFX. The screenshot shows Eclipse Kepler SR1 rendering (somewhat) with JavaFX, which is a major milestone!
- Robert Ladstätter has posted his ‘home-made JavaFX SceneBuilder‘, using the Scene Builder source code that was recently open sourced.
- Björn has posted about integrating OpenStreetmap with JavaFX.
- Laurent Nicolas has a blog post about how he built a custom JavaFX control replicating the Nest thermostat look.
- Sven Ruppert has blogged about IoT with Java8 and TinkerForge (he also makes use of JavaFX).
That’s all folks. Catch you next week!
Hi Jonathan!
What do you think about java update and the security measures? To me is being realy painfull.
I developed a JavaFX applet 1 year ago, using java 6 to be used only on local network. With the last updates, a code signing certificate is necessary, but these certificates are realy expensive for small developers.
I have been using JavaFX since version 1.2 and now i´m facing this issue.
Am i right? Maybe there is another option?
If it makes a difference, you can save money buying a code signing certificate if you use a reseller instead of going directly to the big name sites. Ex: Tucows resells Comodo certificates for ~$75/year.

Thanks Ryan i will look at it. A couple of months ago i found this link too https://www.gogetssl.com/code-signing-certificates/comodo-codesigning-ssl/ , but i was waiting to see what was going to happen on java updates to decide.
Maybe Oracle could list on their site some resellers ? I think this is needed for buy safety. We don´t buy code signing certificates every day, so this can be a dangerous task (if you dont know de trusted reselers).
Thanks again Ryan.
Is anyone else having problems with JavaFX 2 with Java 7 update 51 on os x Mavericks?
The system menu bar does not integrate properly and my programs crash If I try and exit after putting my application in full screen mode (using the button in the window toolbar).
I have posted a question on Stackoverflow but so far no one has replied.

Any help would be apreciated.
