JFXtras is a collection of open-source utilities and add-ons for the JavaFX Script programming language. It provides many features and capabilities that are not available in the early JavaFX releases including Dialogs, Layouts, Unit Testing, Custom Shapes, and an Asynchronous Worker.
WidgetFX is a new open-source framework for deploying JavaFX applications to users' desktops with the simplicity of one click installation. Unlike other widget frameworks, WidgetFX is cross-platform, provides robust security, and can take advantage of existing Java and JavaFX libraries, making it ideal for enterprise deployments. Widgets written for WidgetFX can leverage all the rich media capabilities of the JavaFX platform including graphics, animation, and video.
This session is intended for Java developers who are interested in learning how to create compelling RIA applications using JFXtras components and deploying them as desktop widgets. No prior knowledge of JavaFX is required.
Speaker: Open-Source Developer and Agile Manager, Stephen Chin is founder of numerous open-source projects including WidgetFX and JFXtras. He has been working with Java desktop and enterprise technologies for over a decade, and has a passion for improving development technologies and process. Stephen's interest in Java technologies has lead him to start a Java and JavaFX focused blog (http://steveonjava.wordpress.com/) and coauthor the upcoming Pro JavaFX Platform book together with Jim Weaver and Weiqi Gao.
