by Jonathan Giles | Feb 17, 2019 | Links

It’s been a really long time – apologies for the massive gap since the last post. I promise to get back to more regular postings again now 🙂 Here’s the links that I captured during this time:

• Early access builds of JavaFX 12 have been published by Gluon.
• VocabHunter 2.0.0 has been released. This moves the codebase to JDK 11 and JavaFX 11, with installable bundles for each platform.
• Almas Baimagambetov has announced that FXGL 11.0 is finally out! It is fully modular and uses JavaFX 11. Currently only a core subset of features supported but with a more scalable architecture.
• Peter Rogge has released an update to Lib-I18N, which allows a developer to bind a key-value pair of a `.properties` file to a StringBinding.
• Gerrit Grunwald has been busy as always. He has created a matrix-like data structure, a ‘plain’ amp skin gauge, and a post on styling the Medusa gauges with CSS.
• Dominik Liebler has posted about Kotlin coroutines and JavaFX threads.
• David Gilbert has announced FXGraphics2D 1.8 and JFreeSVG 3.4.
• Michael Hoffer has updated ScaledFX, a JavaFX pane for scaling arbitrary content nodes.
• Jakob Jenkov has updated his JavaFX TableView tutorial.
• Chris Newland has posted a JavaFX ‘demo scene’ video.

A quiet week this week:

• Don Laiquit has open sourced Crypto FX Wallet – “a layer working above the command line wallet of a crypto node. It handles just a limited subset of all the available commands.”
• Adam Carroll has published an article showing how to use the Java Packager with JDK 11 to package up a JavaFX application.

I’m back and well-rested after a week in Honolulu (although as it was noted to me on Twitter, taking kids on vacation is pretty much turning the vacation into ‘looking after kids in a different location’).

• Peter Rogge has released Lib-I18N version 0.5.0. This library “allows developers to easily bind `.properties` key (values) to a [StringBinding]. So changing the language during runtime in a JavaFX application won’t be a problem anymore.”
• Adam Carroll has released Santulator, an open source secret santa present draw app written with JavaFX 11.
• Pedro DV has released JMetro 4.8, with a number of Metro / Fluent Design styles revamped or tweaked.
• GOXR3PLUS STUDIO has released an update to the media player / web browser called XR3Player (along with a video of it in action), as well as an update to FX-BorderlessScene, an “undecorated JavaFX Scene with implemented move, resize, minimise, maximise, close and Windows Aero Snap controls”.

JavaFX links of the week, November 5

A quiet week this time, with just two links of note that I could find:

• GestureFX, a lightweight gesture-enabled pane for JavaFX, has had a new release.
• I came across the open-source Paintera, which “is a general visualization tool for 3D volumetric data and proof-reading in segmentation/reconstruction with a primary focus on neuron reconstruction from electron micrographs in connectomics.” It is built using JavaFX 2D and 3D interfaces. There is a cool video linked on Twitter (I wish I could find a better one)
