Re: Future of JavaFX

I didn't find it too difficult to get the form signed and submitted, but a key exchange is also a good idea. The mirror of the Mercurial repo on BitBucket also makes a lot of sense as a staging area for contributions. (So long as I can avoid dealing with the insanity of Git and its ridiculous U

Re: Future of JavaFX

I think actually the 2nd point (State-of-the-art code collaboration platform) is not comfortable enough how I described it. Firstly, it should be a CI server, not a person, who synchronizes the repositories whenever there is a change on a non-feature branch of the main repository. Secondly, tr

Code Review Request For JDK-8144542: Remove an experimental stopgap fix (-Dprism.experimental.skipMeshNormalComputation) that is no longer needed

Hi Kevin, Please review the proposed fix. JIRA: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144542 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ckyang/JDK-8144542/webrev.00/ Thanks, - Chien

Reviewing impl_* methods in JavaFX

Hi all. As you may recall a few months back I kicked off a review of APIs that exist in com.sun.* packages that were going to be lost due to the arrival of JDK 9. This resulted in a small number of APIs being proposed and made public in the last few weeks. With JDK 9 slipping we think it is p

Re: Future of JavaFX

I think the first hurdle is to get people to sign the CLA. Having to print a copy, sign it, and find a fax machine or scanner to resend it seems kind of archaic in this day and age. That said, e-signing a PDF shouldn't be too difficult, but it would be better if it were simply a form that you atta

Re: Future of JavaFX

Some time ago there actaully was a OpenJFX mirror repository on BitBucket. I'm not totally sure anymore why this was stopped. I think it needs someone who keeps the repositories in sync and there were some concerns that it's harder to control who wrote a patch. But maybe the idea with CLA signer

RE: Future of JavaFX

I see it differently. Often the initial contribution does not fulfil the quality, because the original author alone has not the time to fix all the law stuff, but just has a great idea and hacks it down. Then others chime in an fix it. I often saw (an helped with) such features in other open source

The Verona integration is complete and has been synced back down into FX 9-dev. The per-build tags now match the JDK, so build 94 was tagged with "9-b94" and build 95 is tagged with "jdk-9+95". -- Kevin Kevin Rushforth wrote: Hi, The Verona (JEP 223) Integration to JDK 9 is planned for next

Re: Future of JavaFX

I absolutely agree. While we are committing to many Github projects it’s too hard to do that for JavaFX via bugs.sun.com…. Github is a modern way of developing together. The „bugs.sun.com“ way is like using a candle instead of electric light… Best Regards, Tobi > Am 02.12.2015 um 13:32 schrie

Please, you're really oversimplifying things, I'm not sure if intentionally. It's not just coding. In my company I pay people serious money who do testing and file reproducible test cases with a qualified analysis of what they observed and what may be the problem and that's what I have done in the

App freezing on Linux

I have a customer testing an FX app and more often than not, if the app is left open for a while (20 minutes or so), either the mouse ceases to work, or if it does work, when you click a field, or do something that should re-paint the window, the whole FX window goes totally grey and the app "disap
