Re: How do I find out why the render loop is running?

Oh well the hacks aren't so bad :-) Hack 1: animatedBind(loadingIndicatorArea, loadingIndicatorArea.opacityProperty(), when(isLoading).then(1.0).otherwise(0.0)); // Hack around a bug in jfx: progress indicator leaks the spinner animation even if it's invisible so we have

Re: How do I find out why the render loop is running?

Well, this was a pain in the ass. The cause is indeed ProgressBar/ProgressIndicator. It turns out that they can "leak" animations even when removed from the scene graph or their parents are made invisible. I filed: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-38894 I now have a bunch of hacks to set t

How do I find out why the render loop is running?

My app consistently uses about 10-15% of a CPU even when off screen and nothing is being animated. I had assumed JFX would idle in this case but it seems not. I suspect I've done something that is forcing the system to "pulse" no matter what, but I don't know where to begin investigating this. Prof

Separating observable data structures out into a separate library?

Observable data structures are a useful and general abstraction, which JavaFX deploys to great effect. Combined with the mirroring techniques I posted about a few months ago I found them to be a good way of combining background work and network-updated state with GUI apps. For this reason, they'd
