Here is the overview of the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of July 2024, published on jfx-central.com during this month. Core A message by Kevin Rushforth on the openjfx-dev@openjdk.org mailing list shows the Java/JavaFX release train is approaching the next station ;-): “Bump the version number of JavaFX to 24. I will integrate this to master as part of forking the jfx23 stabilization branch, which is scheduled for Thursday, July 11, 2024 at 16:00 UTC.

Last week I was working on a blog post about Azul Zulu with JavaFX support for ARM systems, like the Raspberry Pi. As you can see in this video, I found out my little test application with a lot of “bouncing balls” started losing performance on the Raspberry Pi with more than 1000 of those balls.

Here is the overview of the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of June 2024, published on jfx-central.com during this month. Core New JavaFX 23 Early-Access Builds are available on jdk.java.net/javafx23. Friedhold Matz shared a screenshot showing that WebView in JavaFX 22 now works with GraalVM 22+36.1.

These are all the links of my presentation at BeJUG in Waregem, Monday, July 24, 2024. Lessons Learned from JavaOnRaspberryPi, the Potential of Bits and Bytes, Cost and Eco-Efficiency I started experimenting with Java on the Raspberry Pi a few years ago because I wanted to learn if I could control electronic components with my favorite programming language.

In the next video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked with Christopher Schnick about XPipe. About Christopher Schnick Christopher is a software engineer with experience in the Java ecosystem and desktop application development.

This is a bit of a different type of post… At my son’s school, the piano in the music class had a few issues, and I went “on a quest” to fix it :-) This post is a collection of what info I needed to get this done, written down here, just in case someone is looking for the same info.

For the second video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked to Daniel Zimmermann. He got my attention when he recently tweeted: “To your dismay I have to tell you I write all my desktop applications using Kotlin and JavaFX”. Why is he a big Kotlin AND JavaFX fan? I asked him and got a demo of the network test application that he is working on.

People who follow me, know I have a big love for JavaFX. It’s my go-to for every desktop user interface application I build. I love the simplicity of quickly creating an app that makes full use of the “Java powers” to build both multi-threaded “backend services” combined with a beautiful-looking UI into one executable.

Here is the overview of the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of May 2024, published on jfx-central.com during this month. Core When Johan Vos shares his notes, you may want to keep on eye on them…: “While working on Java on Mobile, I keep my notes here (best viewed with lynx). This is not user/developer documentation, but people interested/familiar with OpenJDK building might keep an eye to see how far we are.
