I was inspired by Dean Iverson’s tweet with a audio equalizer in JavaFX:
#JavaFX rocks. Literally. An example from our upcoming Pro JavaFX 2 book: pic.twitter.com/tSI4Vry4

So wanted to have a go at doing one my self, so little while later I have a design and built a working application. Demo video after the break.
The video of JavaFX demo shown in the Java One Keynote is now live for viewing on Oracle Media Network.

We had a great time making the demo, I wish to thank Alexander Kouznetsov, Angela Caicedo and Joe Andresen for their help and many late nights working on the demos with me. Nandini Ramani for all her support and letting us steal her office for the week before as a demo war room (hope it doesn’t smell of pizza and coffee any more). We also need to say a huge thank you to Intel who came though at the last minute and provided us two very nice computers to run the demo on, if only they let me keep one 
We were only using one no crazy SLI thing going on, the other was backup just in case.
Alexander and Joe back stage last minute coding, No I meant testing .
Some of the crazy amount of tech back stage.
The keynote room just before doors open.
Joe Andresen, Angela Caicedo, Nandini Ramani and myself (Jasper Potts) on stage just before.
The demo being shown up on the big stage.
Hope you enjoyed the back stage sneak peek, you can see more photos on my flickr.
I had great fun entering the JFXStudio challenge to write a time themed JFX application in less than 30 lines or 3000 characters. Here is my entry a radial clock made of words:
