JavaFX in Sweden

Posted by joshy on November 9, 2008 at 4:31 PM PST

I have been extremely remiss in my blog posting. A quick glance at Java.net says that my last post was August 26th. Well, my only excuse is that I've been mad busy working on the JavaFX SDK. Launching a new platform is a big deal, with many tiny details to be taken care of. I'm heading up the samples and demos effort to make sure we have lots of great sample code for you to learn from. As you can imagine that's taken pretty much all of my time. It'll be over soon, though. The end of fall approaches. :) And once we release the SDK I'll have tons of things to post about (after a much desired vacation).

In the meantime, I will be speaking about JavaFX at the OreDev conference in Malmo, Sweden next week (November 17th-21st). I'll cover some of the cool things you will see in the final JavaFX SDK like video, animation, and some amusing browser tricks; so if you are nearby in Europe be sure to attend. Oh, and of course you are free to see other speakers as well. :)

what about JavaFX Mobile, will you also speak about that at Oredev?

Perhaps some of the bad rap

Perhaps some of the bad rap on layout management is assignment | assignment writing | assignment help due to our own coddling of AWT "Layout Managers", a mostly programmatic approach for achieving layout in Java clients. custom assignment | buy assignment | how to write assignment | online assignment | assignments

when can we expect a huge JavaFX update? i mean, SDK, JavaFX website, tools, tutorials...etc (please make it in November please please) i hope Netbean's JavaFX plugin will be updated too, current one is very limited, sometimes annoying..

Dear Josh, Please address the issues related to Swing in the community: too many unanswered questions related to the future of Enterprise Swing Applications, or basically the continuity of Swing: support, new features, etc. Swing is damn easier than anything else on the desktop, and now, due to 1.6, so much more faster, and I dare say, as fast – and sometimes faster – than C# WinForms. Now, if Enterprise-So-Called Architects stumble across posts like 'Sun lets down Swing', they will mandate the use of alternative technologies on the desktop – and worse on the server-side, favouring C# and C++ - for no valid technical reason. I would urge Sun to start communicating on Swing, again, to re-assure people, developers, architects. I understand the effort put into FX and 6U10. Show us where you guys are heading!

janaudy: Sun is definitely not "letting down Swing". Swing has a long future ahead of it. I'll let Richard talk more about it at Devoxx.

I think it was/is just a communication issue. This is great. Cant wait to read about it from Devoxx.

I'm very happy with the list

I'm very happy with the list of Java EE features that were chosen for the Web Profile. Regarding Beans Validation and WebBeans/JCDI... Section WP 1.1 says: > Targeting “modern” web applications then implies offering a reasonably > complete stack, composed of standard APIs, and capable out-of-the-box > of addressing the needs of a large class of web applications. The WebBeans JSR was created out of necessity. We're talking about a Java EE web profile for web application development. The support for conversational scope and full featured dependency injection is a must. If Web Beans is accepted by the community as something useful and well designed, then it should be included in the Web Profile, and most definitely in full EE 6. Bean Validation is also a must for both Web Profile and full EE 6. buy degree | fake degree | accredited degree

I'm really looking forward

I'm really looking forward for EE 6, but I must agree rdelaplante. Bean validation and Java Contexts & DI (renamed Web Beans) are the must for web and full EE 6 profile. It doesn't make sense to withdraw them. My opinion is also that JAX-RS is the crucial part of new way of writing web application in Java EE and it is also nonsense to exclude it. Maybe you should think about dividing Web profile on Lite and Standard ;) online phd | honorary degree
