Lots of great links this week from the community. Enjoy! 🙂

Jonathan,
What are you guys at Oracle working on at the moment regarding JavaFX? What are the most noteworthy improvements for Java 9?
Hi,
Thanks for all your posts. Since few weeks I’m a bit confused : how are the relations between Gluon, Oracle and OpenJDK. Gluon acts like it takes control of Java (and JavaFx). Will Oracle give Java to the Gluon Compagny ? Are they involved in the OpenJDK project ? Why Oracle doesn’t make (communicate for) all these ports to IOS and Android.
Why Oracle sued Google instead of do this work ?
Best regards.
Does anyone know if anybody is working on a titled border for Pane objects? It’s a pretty basic feature of a modern desktop interface but seems to be missing from JavaFX.
