These are the links of the presentation “Looking at Music, an experiment with Kotlin, JavaFX, MIDI, and Virtual Threads” of Wednesday October 9th, 16:40-17:30, Room 7.
Recently, I was asked what the best way is to build a Fat JAR (a JAR with all dependencies) using Maven.
Here is the next “JFX In Action” with Christoph Schwentker about JabRef, a tool written in Java and JavaFX to collect, organize, and discover literature for research projects.
Here is the overview of the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of September 2024, published on jfx-central.com during this month.
In the next “JFX In Action”, I’m returning to Televic, one of my former employers, to talk to Ramiro Domínguez Ayub.
Recently I have been experimenting with the combination of JavaFX and Kotlin. As Kotlin also runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and is a very close sister of Java, the switch is straightforward.
In the next video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked with Maciej Gorywoda about FxCalculator, an Android app created with Scala and JavaFX you can find in Google Play.

In the next video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked with Christopher Schnick about XPipe.
For the second video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked to Daniel Zimmermann. He got my attention when he recently tweeted: “To your dismay I have to tell you I write all my desktop applications using Kotlin and JavaFX”.
People who follow me, know I have a big love for JavaFX. It’s my go-to for every desktop user interface application I build.
Here is the overview of the JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth of May 2024, published on jfx-central.com during this month.

This is the first JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth review for 2024, an overview of the LinksOfTheWeek that got published on jfx-central.
This is the final JavaFX LinksOfTheMonth review for 2023. It was an amazing year with many evolutions in Java and JavaFX and a complete “fresh” version of JFX Central.
I had a lot of interesting talks with Java experts since I started producing the Foojay Podcast.
FXGL is a framework to easily create JavaFX-based game applications. In this blog post, I want to show you how this can be done within a single Java-file which doesn’t need a full Maven or Gradle project but can be executed directly with JBang without compilation.
Have fun with this overview of the “JavaFX LinksOfTheWeek” that got published on jfx-central.com during November.
Thanks to the Devoxx conference, there are many hours you can spend on JavaFX-related videos! But as every month, there is a lot more to read and learn about JavaFX… Have fun with this overview of the “JavaFX LinksOfTheWeek” that got published on jfx-central.
One of the most “fancy” electronic components is definitely a LED strip. It’s really cool to control a long strip of lights with only a few lines of code… But, there is a problem.
This month OpenJDK and OpenJDK 21 got officially released, so links to the new downloads but also to the early access builds of the next one!
Just like Foojay wants to be the starting place for all info related to Java, JFX Central is the place to be for all JavaFX info.
I’ve taken a holiday this month, so probably missed a lot of the amazing JavaFX news, but still some things caught my attention and you can find them in this LinksOfTheMonth overview.
Yes, the Raspberry Pi Operating System is awesome! But the Pi4J project made it if even more awesome by adding “goodies” for Java developers!
Although I skipped a few weeks because of busy schedules, holiday interruptions, and too few hours in a day, there was still a lot to report in the two #LinksOfTheWeek that were published on jfx-central.
Again a lot has been shared this month in the jfx-central.com #LinksOfTheWeek! And that website itself is “under heavy construction” as version 2 is getting a completely new design and several improvements.
Writing has always been my passion, and even in my previous jobs as a developer, I stood out as the one who enjoyed creating and maintaining documentation.
Again a busy month in JavaFX-world! Here is a nice list with links for your reading and clicking pleasure!
Some time ago on Twitter, I discovered @OrangoMango, who shared his progress in creating a 3D engine with JavaFX.
This is the summary of the #LinksOfTheWeek as published on jfx-central.com. JavaFX Core Gluon announced JavaFX update releases: 20.
On Foojay.io, Bazlur Rahman is publishing a series of interviews with various people from the OpenJDK community.
This is the summary of the #LinksOfTheWeek as published on jfx-central.com. JavaFX Core Johan Vos is working on backports for JavaFX 17.
February is a short month, but this list seems to be longer than ever… A lot of game development, releases, interesting ongoing development, and so much more to read.
2023 has taken off with a flying start in JavaFX-world! Here is a summary of the Links Of The Week that were published in January on jfx-central.
If anyone needs a reminder Java and JavaFX are “alive and kicking”, you can not only check out jfx-central.
Time flies when having fun… So here we are again, another month has passed and this is a summary of the Links Of The Week that were published on jfx-central.
After my talk at J-Fall I got the question what is required to get started with #JavaOnRaspberryPi.
When I (re)started the JavaFX Links Of The Week on jfx-central.com in September, I was wondering if there would be enough material to share every week.
This summer I read the book “Entreprenerd” by Bruno Lowagie. It tells the story of how he started with the iText PDF Java library and turned that into a company together with his wife, and eventually sold it with all problems related to most sales and acquisitions trajects… In “Entreprenerd”, he also describes the process of writing two books about the iText library itself, as there were no good manuals available and he wanted to liberate himself from the ever-returning same questions.
Links used in my talks at Devoxx 2022 (Antwerp, Belgium) and J-Fall (Ede, The Netherlands).
The JavaFX links of the week are back on jfx-central.com, and here we collect the complete month for you in an excellent overview.
On the OpenJFX website you can find a lot of getting started documentation. But as one image/video says more than a thousand words, I created this short movie to show you that creating a new JavaFX project is just a matter of a few clicks with the JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.
As part of the Pi4J project, we created an example game with JavaFX and FXGL that uses an Arcade kit with a Joystick and big push buttons.
In the previous post we started our discovery of HiveMQ Cloud with Java on the Raspberry Pi.
The Raspberry Pi in combination with an inexpensive touch screen, makes a perfect controller for a machine or game console.
In a previous post “Getting Started with FXGL Game Development” we already have taken a look at the FXGL game development framework developed by Almas Baimagambetov.
Today I could give my talk “Having fun with Java and JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi” at the JFXDays.
The post “Starting a JavaFX Project with Gluon Tools” shows you how to start a Gluon Mobile Multiview project with a few clicks in IntelliJ IDEA thanks to the “Gluon plugin”.
On foojay.io you can already find two posts by Carl Dea to get you started with JavaFX:
Today I had my first Devoxx talk, after my Java virtual talk a few weeks ago at the “Oracle Groundbreakers APAC Virtual Tour 2020” conference (21/10)!
Confused about the release cycles of OpenJDK and OpenJFX and the relationship between them? Read on!
After my virtual conference talk “Java and JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi” at the “Oracle Groundbreakers APAC Virtual Tour 2020”, I got in touch with some people who were working on JavaFX 3D in the past, and were curious how that would behave on the Raspberry Pi.
Today I had the honor to speak at the “Oracle Groundbreakers APAC Virtual Tour 2020” conference.
Thanks to Twitter and LinkedIn I got into contact with several developers who are doing Java stuff on Raspberry Pi and I want to share those projects with you as they can be an inspiration for all of us to get started with Java development on the Raspberry Pi.
For this post I did some experiments with Java 15, reusing the Ubuntu 64bit SD card which was also used for the earlier post “Comparing a REST H2 Spring versus Quarkus application on Raspberry Pi”.
In a previous post “Installing Java and JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi”, you can read how to install BellSoft LibericaJDK to be able to run JavaFX applications with a graphical user interface on a Raspberry Pi with ARMv7 or ARMv8 processor.
FXGL is a Java, JavaFX and Kotlin Game Library (Engine) made by Almas Baimagambetov. As my son (almost 10y) challenged me to make a game during my “Corona-stay-at-home-time”, I had the luck Almas provided me a getting-started with this detailed step-by-step.
One of the most read articles on this blog is about the installation of a recent Java on Raspberry Pi (March 13, 2019), so it’s time for an update!
Based on multiple examples from my book “Getting started with Java on Raspberry Pi”, I created a touchscreen controller for the drum booth of my son.
In my book I explain the use of bits and bytes by using a shift register SN74HC595 IC and 5101AS LED number display.
To create some timeline images for my book, I created this little JavaFX application to be able to easily update the content and recreate the image.
Using the Java library I created (see previous post), it was a piece of cake to create a JavaFX UI on top of it!
Next step in my book progress, is getting more into the details of hardware components. And as always starting with the smallest most-used ones: resistors!
One of the example applications in my book “Getting started with Java on the Raspberry Pi” combines a JavaFX application with Mosquitto on the Raspberry Pi to control a LED strip with an Arduino.
My very first open source JavaFX library is now available in the Maven repository! A small step for mankind, one giant leap for myself ;-)
While trying out what Pi4J can do, I found it could easily be extended with a JavaFX application to provide info about the headers on a Pi board.
As my daily work mainly is Java and back-end stuff on “real servers”, I set myself for 2019 as a personal goal to experiment with Java 11 on a Raspberry PI.
What we will do Based on the previous blog posts we can install and run Java 11 we have a minimal JavaFX 11 application which runs fine on a PI So there is one “small” step remaining: build something which actually does something on the PI, talking to the GPIO’s and show what’s happening.
In part 2 of this blog series Java 11 was successfully installed on a PI.
I prefer a Java app above a web app, because starting a new “modern” web development requires you to pull a bunch of dependencies and a lot of files before you can start.
What is JavaFX? From the Oracle site: “JavaFX is a set of graphics and media packages that enables developers to design, create, test, debug, and deploy rich client applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms.
Java Quick Start Is Java your first programming language and do you want to get up and running fast?
