Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

#GemsFX 4.0.1 is out and has been "downgraded" back to using Java 11 and JavaFX 17 due to popular demand. I also added a new sampler demo auto-update installer (jdeploy) that you can download here: www.jdeploy.com/~gemsfxdemo The demo uses Java 24 and JavaFX 25. #javafx #java #ui #ux #jdeploy

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

#FlexGanttFX is a #JavaFX framework for creating UIs for planning and scheduling applications. Now you can play around with thanks to a new jdeploy installer that you can find here: www.jdeploy.com/~flexganttfx...

Friendly reminder: if you need a fully-featured calendar control for your #JavaFX application then please go and check out #CalendarFX at dlsc-software-consulting-gmbh.github.io/CalendarFX/

Glad to see the Headless JavaFX Platform is being used. It really makes automated UI tests on CI much easier.

In 1999 you could get a full time tech job if you knew 3 html tags. 3 years later, after Dot-Com, you couldn’t get a job without a master’s and 10 years experience. That’s what this whole «I vibe coded myself to a Silicon Valley job» sounds like to me.

A little competition never hurt anyone ..... @jfxcentral.com will start showing the GitHub stars that a library has received so far. #javafx #ui #x #java

Copilot is now updating the libraries catalogue for @jfxcentral.com for me. "Find the most popular JavaFX libraries on GitHub and summarise the readme and download the images and integrate into libraries.json". That's what AI was made for :-) #JavaFX #java #ui #ux

Now open source! Currently under review by @dlemmermann.bsky.social and waiting to be published to Maven Central.

We finally moved to #JavaFX 25 for @jfxcentral.com and this now allows us to use StageStyle.EXTENDED. Sounds like a minor thing but allows apps to look much more native than before. No more custom resizing borders and behaviour. #javafx #ui #ux #java

I created a website dedicated to #GemsFX, my primary open source project for #JavaFX custom controls. You can find it at gemsfx.dlsc.com. #ui #ux #java #javafx

Support for JavaFX -- "Driven by customer demand, interest from academia, and the growing need for advanced visualizations in AI-powered applications and analytics, Oracle is reintroducing commercial support for JavaFX." blogs.oracle.com/java/announc...

Coincidence, I think not.

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps. Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts. Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

Big day for #Java – Java 26 is here! ☕ IntelliJ IDEA already supports it, so you can try the new features right away. Read more in our blog post: jb.gg/avyjks. Visiting JavaOne? Stop by the JetBrains booth to talk about Java 26 and IntelliJ IDEA with us in person.

I updated my website at dlsc.com with Github Copilot. Basically one day of work. If I had a design I could have done it in an hour, but I was playing around with things. @brunoborges.bsky.social

#Lottie4J now has a logo, and yes, of course, it's also available as a LottieFiles animation ;-) In the video, you can see it being played back with the #JavaFX player versus the JavaScript player. They should look identical, do you agree? Check lnkd.in/eDFS2Rin for all info.

copilot CLI for scaffolding UI code is where i've seen the biggest time savings too. the generated code still needs cleanup but getting a working skeleton in seconds instead of 20 minutes of boilerplate changes the whole workflow

Did some more evaluation of GitHub Copilot CLI today and built a nice launcher app for my #GemsFX open source project. The productivity I get out of this surpassed all my expectations. #javafx #java #ui #ux @brunoborges.bsky.social

When using AI to generate code the term "implementation detail" gets a whole new meaning. #ai #copilot #claude @brunoborges.bsky.social

I revisited the PopOver control that I wrote years ago. I noticed that the clipping wasn't working perfectly and that the placement logic had issues (to say the least), which caused the popover arrow to point at the wrong location. It's all fixed now and will be in the next #GemsFX release. #javafx
