I’ve done some experiments with the upcoming JavaFX 3D API. Therefore I created a small demo application that adds 3D content to a JFXtras window control. In the video I’ll discuss subscenes as well as adding 3D objects directly to JavaFX panes. Here’s the video: Requirements: JDK 8 (preview build, …
Since I work with JavaFX 8 I have the feeling that it performs a lot better than JavaFX 2.x. In September 2012 I created a JavaFX performance benchmark (based on BubbleMark) to measure the framerate with different window/scenegraph sizes. Here is the old post which explains the benchmark. The performance …
I have a Macbook Pro with Retina display. Unfortunately, JavaFX 2.x does not support Retina resolution. But the preview builds of JDK/JavaFX 8 do! This was motivation enough to start porting the JFXtras window control to JDK 8. Actually, it was a lot easier than I thought. And the preview …
I’ve finally added the window controls to the JFXtras project! In addition I added two samples to the JFXtras Ensemble app. A lot more will follow! Stay tuned…
Finally, the project reached a point where it becomes useful. I’m still not a JavaFX expert and some things seem still strange to me. However, moving to JavaFX was definitely the right decision. I have a lot of fun exploring the API! Progress Windows and icons are real controls now …
