Does you plan to make more APIs public the Area class? Applications which simply want to register events like "when the mouse hovers of this area of a picture then notify me" where 'area' is an arbitrarily shaped region of the screen. Currently this has to be done with invisible Shapes, which 'feels' to be the wrong way as there is an Area class inside of JavaFX. :-)
-----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev [mailto:openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Rushforth Sent: Donnerstag, 17. Dezember 2015 15:22 To: openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net Subject: Update on FX plans for JDK 9 Given the recently announced JDK 9 schedule slip [1], we have taken the opportunity to explore what RFE's / Features we could possibly now work on for inclusion in JDK 9. We wanted to give you a pre-holiday season update on what we are currently thinking. The following RFEs are in progress or planned for JDK 9: JDK-8144585: Encapsulate JavaFX impl_* implementation methods JDK-8143158: [Text, TextFlow] Make public API from internal "impl" APIs JDK-8091308: Define fine-grained permissions for JavaFX Expose Hi-DPI properties for render scale and screen scale (FX equivalent task for JEP 263 JDK-8055212) Multi-resolution image support (FX equivalent task for JEP 251 JDK-8046010) Additionally, we have started to look into making public API for some of the impl_* API that will otherwise be hidden by JDK-8144585. See Jonathan's earlier e-mail on the subject [2]. Here is what we have so far: JDK-8144628: Provide API to expose list of showing Windows JDK-8144625: Expose code and char properties on KeyCode JDK-8144962: Promote TableColumn reorderable property to public API JDK-8144871: Add default method getStyleableNode to Styleable interface JDK-8145143: Promote Image.impl_getUrl() to public API as Image.getUrl() JDK-8144956: Remove impl_cssGet*InitialValue() methods from Node and Labeled If there are any we have missed that your application depends on, please send e-mail to Jonathan. Finally, here is an updated list of other RFEs we might consider for JDK 9. We will not be able to do all of these, but hope to be able to do many of them. We could use the help of the OpenJFX community in prioritizing this list or possibly adding something that we missed, as long as the scope is small enough. JDK-8091107: Add java.awt.Desktop support to javafx JDK-8091517: Implement com.apple.eawt APIs that make sense in JavaFX (FX equivalent for JEP 272) JDK-8087516: Conditional support in JavaFX for GTK 3 on Linux JDK-8092040: Implement Image writers for JavaFX JDK-8091673: Runtime should have a published focus traversal API for use in custom controls JDK-8089311: [TableCell] commit on focus lost not possible in every case JDK-8090477: Customizable visibility timing for Tooltip JDK-8092098: [TabPane] Support for draggable tabs JDK-8144556: Add support to allow user specified rendering order JDK-8145443: [Mac] Render directly to NSWIndow rather than via CALayer for non-applet Stage JDK-8145154: Provide public API support for PerformanceTracker functionality JDK-8090763: Public API for Glass's robot functionality Let us know what is most important to your application. We will keep you posted with updates on what exactly is being targeted (note that you can track it by looking at the Fix Version in JBS, which we strive to keep up-to-date).
