Jago de Vreede is bringing SDKMAN to Windows! He builds a user interface on top of the terminal tool to make it easier to use, and add the same time solves the problem that you could only use SDKMAN on Linux and macOS. In the previous “JFX In Action” interview we saw how jDeploy can be used to distribute a JavaFX application, and in this one we see how you can achieve the same with GraalVM, although it is more difficult to setup. In the video, he walks us through the GitHub Actions that he created to build those native binaries. Jago also shows us how he uses SceneBuilder to create the layout of the app.
Building a Java(FX) app is easy and fun, but how do you efficiently distribute it to different systems? jpackage and GraalVM can help, but jDeploy makes things even more effortless by handling all the packaging and providing an upgrading flow! In this “JFX In Action” interview, you’ll learn how this works from Steve Hannah, the creator of jDeploy.
In the “JFX In Action” interviews, we already saw many business use cases of JavaFX. Let’s take a side step and look at game development. FXGL is a library that helps us create JavaFX games.

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”. Why is he a big Kotlin AND JavaFX fan? I asked him and got a demo of the network test application that he is working on.
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. I love the simplicity of quickly creating an app that makes full use of the “Java powers” to build both multi-threaded “backend services” combined with a beautiful-looking UI into one executable. I’m starting a new video series “JFX In Action” in which I talk to developers to show the world what is being developed with JavaFX, starting with Pedro Duque Vieira about the JavaFX libraries and apps he creates.
