Some questions about participating in development

Hello everyone, since I recently spammed https://javafx-jira.kenai.com with bug reports :-), I decided it's time to take the next step and contribute patches. With the help of https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX I was able to checkout & build the rt module and execu

Of course I forgot to be explicit about the main thing that was important to the discuss alias when I posted that last message. You do NOT need to sign the OCA to contribute a bug via bugs.java.com. I'm not actually sure why the page at bugs.java.com directs people to the contributor agreement be

Re: JavaFX JIRA issues moving to JBS

I want to highlight something that was clarified for me on the discuss alias. On the bugs.java.com page there's a section entitled "Submit a Code Fix or Test Case". I misinterpreted it to be part of the guidelines for submitting a bug and have been under the impression that I would be required to

Re: Font size, dpi and text crispness (snapping to pixels)

I should have included a smiley when I suggested a 5k Retina monitor as a “workaround”. :-) Also, I should have mentioned that I was able to improve my text rendering significantly with: myText.setFontSmoothingType(FontSmoothingType.LCD) It isn’t as crisp as Eclipse, but I believe the

In my company at least in the business (healthcare in hospitals) we target JavaFX for (as a replacement of old app in Swing) we for sure cannot ask our clients to change their computers/screen to have HiDPI... so having 5K screens, yes in 2045 perhaps. On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 7:12 PM, Jeff Martin

Re: Font size, dpi and text crispness (snapping to pixels)

I’m surprised about the font size problem - If I create a font with new Font(“Monaco”, 10), text shows up the same size as it does in Eclipse. I don’t think there is a solution for the blurry problem, however, because there is no way to disable Antialiasing. In Swing, I was able to get crisp re

I was talking to Phil about a related point yesterday. One thing we (the JavaFX developers at Oracle) will need to do is to take a more active approach in helping bugs filed at bugs.java.com make their way from the internal "Incidents" project into the JDK project as an active bug. This doesn't

As a long time OpenJDK contributor I agree the fact of needing to be an Author to file bug reports is an inconvenience. This is something that is discussed basically at every public meeting where the Governing Board is present (particularly at Fosdem, sometimes at Java One as well). For OpenJDK A

Hi Jim, Thanks for looking into this. The patch definitely improves es2 performance on Debian Linux amd64 from around 33fps to around 53fps for me (nVidia FX580). I've made patched overlay builds of OpenJFX (Linux) 8 and 9 available on my OpenJFX CI server for anyone who wants to try it: http://
