JavaFX Links of August 2026

JavaFX Links of August 2026

Aug 28, 2026 · 4 min read

Here are the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of August 2026. We took a summer break, so there was only one “Links Of The Week” this month, and it covers all of August. We hope you had a great summer and are ready for more JavaFX news in the coming weeks!

You can find the weekly lists on jfx-central.com . Did we miss anything? Is there anything you want to have included in one of the next overviews? Let us know via links@jfx-central.com .

Core

Games

  • Digital Brain on Bluesky : HMCL, the cross-platform Minecraft launcher that has nearly 10,000 stars on GitHub. “The tool is built with JavaFX and works on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD, in addition to supporting uncommon architectures like ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, and LoongArch, something that most commercial launchers do not offer.” Sources are on GitHub .

Components, Libraries, Tools

  • mstr_2 on Reddit : “FXML/2 is a compiled, type-safe, declarative markup language for JavaFX that I’ve been working on for the past several years. It borrows from classic FXML and adds lots of useful features. Depending on your specific use case, you’ll also notice a substantial performance increase: FXML/2 documents don’t need to be parsed at runtime (since they are compiled classfiles), which removes the FXMLLoader bottleneck.”
  • Dirk Lemmermann announced that FlexGanttFX, the professional JavaFX Gantt chart framework, is now open source (AGPLv3). “After more than a decade as a commercial product, I’m happy to announce that FlexGanttFX is now an open source project. FlexGanttFX is a professional Gantt chart and scheduling framework for JavaFX, built by DLSC Software & Consulting. It has been used in aviation, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and resource planning applications for years - and it’s now available to everyone.”
  • Dirk also created a new showcase application for GemsFX . “You can download it here . GemsFX contains 60+ widgets / controls for JavaFX. I picked a new approach in this one. I bundled the documentation PDF for each widget right into the app. To see the widget in action you have to press the play button.”

Podcasts, Videos, Books

  • Pedro Duque Vieira shared a video on LinkedIn : “Quick update: A fresh look for the windows in IKE (Integrated Knowledge Exchange): the knowledge management windows — the ‘cards’ that hold concepts, patterns and semantics — have been redesigned. The video shows the previous design first, followed by the new one.”

Conferences, Presentations

Miscellaneous

  • Johan Vos asks for feedback : “Looking for input/feedback from Java developers on 2 different topics: Is there interest in a JavaFX workshop/conference/training in Belgium? Is there interest in a gathering with fellow Java developers working on scientific topics (writing java code, not only using 3th party code)?”
  • Geordanys Martinez is selling a “Complete Pure Java 17 PDF Engine (Full IP, Source Code, & Copyright)”: “I have taken this engine to production-grade completion and am selling the entire asset, including full source code ownership, copyrights, and intellectual property distribution rights. I am ready to clear my plate and move on to a brand-new engineering challenge. jux-pdf is a massive, clean-room, file-by-file port of Google Chrome’s native pdfium engine and the FreeType font rasterizer, completely rewritten into pure Java 17.”
