Re: Innovation again (was Re: Text classes)

Absolutely - there needs to be a viable community that is not just Oracle. So, is there one? If not, how do we build one? OK, so let me rephrase my earlier email: I am willing to work with *anyone* (within Oracle or not) on the features that the community craves, such as those I listed (and

Re: Innovation again (was Re: Text classes)

There needs to be a viable community that is not just Oracle to support you here .. I think everyone has come to be dependent on Oracle to "be there". But if there is a specific community need that Oracle doesn't see as essential, then the community should help out. -phil. On 12/5/17, 9:27

Re: Innovation again (was Re: Text classes)

Well, that’s all fine but you didn’t address the issue of working with someone within Oracle to get these innovations done. Sure, I could just toil away by myself but clearly it would be better all around if there was someone with much more extensive knowledge of JavaFX and its internals who

Re: Innovation again (was Re: Text classes)

I think looking at it as an Oracle-owned and controlled project maybe the first mistake here. Yes it was closed source and then Oracle controlled, but not any more, OCA requirements aside. It is not even a "java specification". It can be evolved at an API level without a JSR. The JEP process is

Innovation again (was Re: Text classes)

Phil et. al., Whilst I’m not going to be quite as “passionate” as some on this issue (although I do understand the frustration), I would like to point out again that this is indeed a huge gap and it is critical that it is filled ASAP. Obviously a solution where every word in a text document is

Re: Text classes

Sorry about all the typos previously.  Question- why not use the code in awt ? I am not totally up on what's going on with the platforms' native rendering engines ( meaning, I have no idea whatsoever) or how they have changed, but golly it sure does still work pretty well.  At least it

Re: Text classes

No Oracle plans !!!  My one sentence rant: Interactive infographics are a cool way to represent complex information and actgually represent a genuinely new way to communicate information which in some cases is also the best way or all possible ways, but there are at least two other ways that

Re: Text classes

This is a gap it would be nice to fill. Since it is not a small effort to do right there'd be a design side as well as implementation so it can't be just 'slid in'. And I don't think just moving internal APIs to public is the way to approach it. There are no current plans to allocate Oracle
