Glad to see the Headless JavaFX Platform is being used. It really makes automated UI tests on CI much easier.

#AbolishAI

In 1999 you could get a full time tech job if you knew 3 html tags.

3 years later, after Dot-Com, you couldn’t get a job without a master’s and 10 years experience.

That’s what this whole «I vibe coded myself to a Silicon Valley job» sounds like to me.

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

This is a fantastic plugin for @intellijidea.com , a must-have for any #JavaFX developer. It takes care of a lot of boilerplate coding and adds great tooling for regular tasks.

JavaFX Tools v2.0 is here! 🚀

Free IntelliJ plugin for JavaFX devs:
• CSS completion, variable resolution & gutter previews
• 63,000+ Ikonli icons browser
• Weekly JFXCentral LOTW digest

Thanks @dlemmermann.bsky.social for testing and guidance!

Last weekend I worked on #FlexGanttFX (flexganttfx.com) improvements and support for AtlantaFX theming / styling. A new showcase app with new demos / samples is also in the works. #javafx #java #ui #ux

🎠 CarouselFX is now available on Maven Central!

Big thanks to @dlemmermann.bsky.social for publishing and guiding this project!

Here is another one .... the header changes layout when a library has its own icon .... good job @hansolo.eu :-)

A little competition never hurt anyone ..... @jfxcentral.com will start showing the GitHub stars that a library has received so far. #javafx #ui #x #java

Copilot is now updating the libraries catalogue for @jfxcentral.com for me. "Find the most popular JavaFX libraries on GitHub and summarise the readme and download the images and integrate into libraries.json". That's what AI was made for :-) #JavaFX #java #ui #ux

Now open source! Currently under review by @dlemmermann.bsky.social and waiting to be published to Maven Central.

The resizing feels much more natural. Before you had to position the mouse cursor very precisely on the 5 pixel wide border of the content. Now it is enough to be somewhat close to the edge. Also platform-specific close, min, max buttons is cool to have.

We finally moved to #JavaFX 25 for @jfxcentral.com and this now allows us to use StageStyle.EXTENDED. Sounds like a minor thing but allows apps to look much more native than before. No more custom resizing borders and behaviour. #javafx #ui #ux #java

I created a website dedicated to #GemsFX, my primary open source project for #JavaFX custom controls. You can find it at gemsfx.dlsc.com. #ui #ux #java #javafx

Support for JavaFX -- "Driven by customer demand, interest from academia, and the growing need for advanced visualizations in AI-powered applications and analytics, Oracle is reintroducing commercial support for JavaFX." blogs.oracle.com/java/announc...

Gluon continues to lead the OpenJFX project. Here is JavaFX 26.

Coincidence, I think not.

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps.

Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts.

Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

Thanks to the efforts of several open source developers we at @jfxcentral.com can now display syntax-highlighted code in markdown files via @mdfx by @floriankirmaier.bsky.social #javafx #java #ui #ux Available hopefully by the end of the week.

I updated my website at dlsc.com with Github Copilot. Basically one day of work. If I had a design I could have done it in an hour, but I was playing around with things. @brunoborges.bsky.social

#Lottie4J now has a logo, and yes, of course, it's also available as a LottieFiles animation ;-) In the video, you can see it being played back with the #JavaFX player versus the JavaScript player. They should look identical, do you agree?
