REMINDER: IMPORTANT: Rampdown / stabilization of 8u20 for milestone M2
As a reminder: We are approaching the M2 freeze as described in #5 below. All approved (see #4) changesets for the M2 milestone build should be pushed by 11:00 PM Pacific time on Sunday, Feb 23. -- Kevin Kevin Rushforth wrote: Hi OpenJFX committers, After this coming Monday's FX build, which will go into 8u20-b02, we will start ramping down for our M2 milestone build (aka 8u20-b03). This particular milestone is important for the embedded platform. As a result, you will need to observe the following rules for any commit. 1) Sunday, Feb 16 at 11:00 pm Pacific time: All planned changes for b02 should be in (our test build is scheduled to start at 11pm that day). The usual rules apply for changesets pushed prior to that time. 2) All changesets that are pushed after 11:00 pm Pacific time on Sunday, Feb 16 will need additional scrutiny to go in. In addition to your normal reviewer you must get a +1 from one of the following, even if you would normally do a post-commit review: Daniel Blaukopf Steve Northover Kevin Rushforth Lisa Selle 3) Monday, Feb 17: We will do our usual (In)Sanity Testing and then hand off the bits to release engineering for 8u20-b02. 4) Week of Feb 17 - 14: Bug fixes can go in subject to the extra approval noted above, but please hold off making any risky changes until after M2. 5) Sunday, Feb 23 at 11:00 pm Pacific time: We will do a soft freeze, during which time we will be locked except for critical issues discovered during testing, for b03 (milestone M2). 6) Monday, Feb 24: We will do our usual (In)Sanity Testing, with extra emphasis on testing anything that changed after b02, and then hand off the bits to release engineering for 8u20-b03. 7) I will send a subsequent announcement as to when the repo is open for normal business. Thank you. -- Kevin
JavaFX suggestions from Alex Kishko
Hello.
I allow me to express several opinions on the JavaFX:
1) JavaFX need interfaces - many controls have similar methods, but not
interface: for example ComboBox, ChoiceBox, MenuButton, Menu, ContextMenu
have the method void hide(), but no inherited interface. The ComboBox and
ChoiceBox seem similar as a list wrapper, but no common list interface.
2) The abstract class Parent has private ObservableListNode children and
protected ObservableListNode getChildren(), but ChoiceBox, ComboBox,
SplitMenuButton, GridPane, Accordion, TabPane, ScrollPane etc. - they all
are Parent too, but don't use children and have different containers:
children, items, panes, content etc... I would like to have one way to get
children.
3) The class MenuItem need be Node, because has a lot of same methods.
I can't use these classes in utility methods or factory class. I must write
so long checker:
If (control instanceof ChoiceBox){
((ChoiceBox) control).getItems()...
} else If (control instanceof Accordion){
((ChoiceBox) control).getTabs()...
} ...
It is ineffectively.
4) All of Number property classes, for example IntegerProperty,
FloatProperty, DoubleProperty etc implement PropertyNumber... Why not
Integer, Float, Double etc.?
I can't use it in collaboration with StringConverterNumber - I need use
accordingly StringConverterInteger, StringConverterFloat,
StringConverterDouble...
5) Styles need get pseudo classes via setStyle(), for example:
menuItem.setStyle(:focused {-fx-background-color: yellow;});
6) Custom properties need be realized in easier manner as pseudo classes
and StyleableProperty inheritance. In my prototype I use my own wrapper,
but I think that it need be a part of JavaFX.
I have some more suggestions, if it is interesting I write further.
TextField memory leak (RT-22716) - any JDK 7 workarounds?
I posted on the ticket, but also wanted to ask the community if there are any good workarounds for this bug in JDK 7? I've confirmed that the leaked references are being held through the TextField caret animation. This has become a critical issue for my project, as now a number of our clients are running out of memory. What I've tried so far is to add event handler for WindowEvent.WINDOW_HIDING, and try to change focus to something that is NOT a text field, followed by setDisable(true) on the Scene's root node. This appeared to work briefly, but now I'm still seeing the leak. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Andy This message may contain confidential information and is intended for specific recipients unless explicitly noted otherwise.

The Node#setStyle(String) API is analogous to the 'style' attribute of
HTML. To my knowledge, the style attribute in HTML does not allow for
pseudo-class state.
This kind of functionality does fall under the umbrella of
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-17293 and I encourage you to add
your comments there.

I'm not sure what you mean here. What is it your wrapper does?

SnapCode JavaFX
For some Friday night light posting, here is an update on an app I hope will become a great showcase, educational and promotional app for JavaFX and Java: JavaFX Animation: http://www.reportmill.com/snap/gallery/StudioIntro Pen Graphics: http://www.reportmill.com/snap/gallery/PenIntro Maybe this could make take over for our stalled Tower defense app. I plan to integrate major new JavaFX features every week. jeff
Re: SnapCode JavaFX
Very impressive Jeff! I'd really love to see you build some complex animations with SnapCode and add in effects etc. Keep up the great work! We really need apps that showcase the awesomeness and potential of JavaFX.

[8u20] Review request: RT-13275 - 0 radius blurs produce low resolution output
Kevin, Chien, Felipe, I'm tagging 3 people on this review to hopefully get some more critical feedback mostly because the webrev is large, though most of the changes are simple due to some method signature changes... Jira: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-13275 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~flar/RT-13275/webrev.00/ More information about the content of the changes appears in the latest comment in the Jira. Compiled on Mac and Win7. Test cases run on Mac with es2,sw. Test cases run on Win7 with d3d,es2,sw. Ensemble8 and some other samples tested on Mac. ...jim
