Re: JavaFX for NetBeans GUI

Hi all, there is a project out there called eFX... It is a simple proof of concept of reuding NetBeans core functionality (aka not swing dependent) and adding a JavaFX frontend.. This is focussing on WindowSystem ideas etc. and less on IDE features(aka editor). There is one example application

Re: JavaFX for NetBeans GUI

Yes indeed, I agree that it will be a lot of work and it will take talented engineers. Makes sense to at least look at it from a high level first to see if certain parts of the UI could be re-written in JavaFX...done in phases. I'd be willing to help out, but I cannot realistically offer a ton

Re: NB 9 release still won't find updates or plugins.

I've got a couple more suggestions for improvements of the Updater UI. Going to discuss them on the dev list and implement them. I only need to find a spare minute to start with it. Boris 2018-08-16 14:42 GMT+02:00 Geertjan Wielenga < geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com.invalid>: > > > On Thu, Aug

Re: NB 9 release still won't find updates or plugins.

Thank you for that Geetjan, It is still a short list (as noted previously).. One critical omission is the Gradle plugin. I went back to my Netbeans 8.2 and copied the URL-s from there: - http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/8.2/catalog.xml.gz I was able to install from there.

Re: JavaFX for NetBeans GUI

I agree with Geertjan Wielenga's assessment of the work and the deadline. I would add, that if you go in this direction it is good to think about updating the architecture and especially on the Plugin system. It should be made easier and more functional in keeping with new trends. For example,

Re: JavaFX for NetBeans GUI

Aside from the licensing concerns, I think we need to set some expectations here. I.e., rewriting the NetBeans user interface from Swing to JavaFX is a LOT of work. And it has to be done really well and be really performant and require a group of very highly skilled JavaFX developers. I would

Re: Adding Visual Web Designer using JavaFX

A visual web designer would be nice for newcomers. I used it way back when for a project or two and it was nice. However, I am not very keen on having the IDE write front-end code for me...so I didn't use it for too much. On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 12:56 AM Geertjan Wielenga wrote: > > > On Wed,

Re: JavaFX for NetBeans GUI

It would be nice to have a JavaFX GUI for NetBeans, specifically if something like Gluon Mobile were used so that NetBeans UI could be ported over to iOS and Android. There are apps such as Dringend ( http://dringend.cc) on iOS that have a GUI for the mobile device that communicates back with a
