Java desktop links of the week, September 10

Hi all! Sorry for the delay in this weeks post - I've been snowed under with work (as per usual it seems!). Please pardon the brevity this week :-)

Richard Bair posted some performance numbers based on our work on JavaFX 8.0 performance. A large number of JavaFX team members have been solely focusing on performance for JavaFX 8.0, and we have some very pleasing numbers to show for it.
Mark Heckler has done another post on his DialogFX project.
Danno Ferrin has blogged about JavaFX, Groovy and Griffon, which talks about the newly-updated JavaFX plugin for Griffon.
Carl Dea has updated the examples for his 'Introduction to JavaFX 2' book to work better with JavaFX 2.2.
Andy Till has blogged about reusable FXML controls using Google Guice.
Pedro Duque Vieira has posted on minimalistic styling for JavaFX Stages.
Wichit Sombat has posted an applet that is a simple particle system written in JavaFX 2.2 (presumably using the new Canvas API).
Among many others, I would like to say that I will definitely be at Devoxx this year, giving three talks. I'm looking forward to it!

Roger Brinkley has a video on YouTube that covers 8 things you might not know that are new in Java 7 UI APIs. Topics covered included Nimbus, JLayer, mixing AWT and Swing, translucent windows, and a few more!

Catch you all next week!
