Java desktop links of the week, January 27

Another week of great links - enjoy! :-)

JavaFX

• Johan Vos has a good blog post summarising the current state of the JavaFX on Android work.
• Hendrik Ebbers has two posts this week. Firstly, he has blogged about a new feature in DataFX 8.0 called the ProcessChain. His second post discusses how JavaFX meets JavaEE.
• Ryan Cuprak gave a good presentation at the Silicon Valley JavaFX users group on the topic of 'HTML5 and JavaFX'.
• Laurent Nicolas has posted part two of his series on building a Nest Thermostat custom control in JavaFX.
• Sven Ruppert has posted part two of his series of posts on IoT with Java8 and TinkerForge.
• William Antônio Siqueira has posted sample code on how to build a generic handler to handle all input events in JavaFX. His code could be a little shorter if instead of calling lbl.setOnMouseClicked(eventHandler); for every event type he simply did something along the lines of lbl.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.ANY, eventHandler);
• Tim Yates has posted a gradient extractor tool for JavaFX that will extract a gradient out of an image.
• Jeff Martin has published a video demo of adding custom JavaFX effects to animations in the free Java Inventor educational tool.
• Mark Stephens has blogged about the development of a (commercial) JavaFX PDF viewer library.

Catch you all next week!
