This week, Joshua Marinacci joins me to talk about more about JavaOne and JavaFX. We discuss:
- Josh’s coffee places: Allen Brothers, Dutch Brothers.
- Josh’s take on JavaOne and CommunityDay.
- In talking about Kenai and Zembly, we get into a discussion about moving parts of the software development process into the cloud.
- We then talk about the Java Store, which he’s been working on in the recent time. See his recent Q&A on the Java Store.
- The difficulty of collecting money in these stores - figuring out regional tax laws, income tax, etc.
- JavaFX 1.2 - lots of control improvements & additions. Redoing GUI concepts - separating styling from controls. Button, slider, checkbox, but some things missing: table, tree, combo box. No more layout managers, there’s containers. No ties to AWT and Swing, everything is skinable with CSS. Also: charts. Linux and Solaris support.
- JavaFX tools? Updates Production Suite for CS4. More people working on the open source Eclipse plugin. JavaOne showed sneak-preview of the design tool. Also the other fun JavaFX Wii-mote and motion sensing demos during the Gosling talk. See the JavaOne Toy Show replay.
- Also, we rat-hole on JavaFX profiles - desktop and common, and I’d expect mobile out there. But Josh, says they’re trying to limit them.
