Super, looking forward to attending.

Really nice :), although you don't have any defense buildings and the monsters are all the same.

Too bad I won't be able to attend. My boss is giving on a talk on Scala at JavaOne, you might want to check that out. Also, I have just finished a new SuperGlue submission that talks about support for live programming:

As I mentioned before, very related to F3, we should definitely talk in the future.

Chris, how would you compare F3 with Scala?

Posted by Fred on March 23, 2007 at 12:53 PM PDT #

Please update us on the state of F3, and the java.net Public project :-). Unfortunally I have no chance of attending, so I am looking foward to the presentation pdf's and to the future netbeans matisse plugin.

Chris, While we are all waiting for you to release F3, I hope you also write about the semantics of the bind operator. I realize that it is probably some variation of FRP, but it will be very interesting to read how you implemented it, what obstacles you faced and what limitations you decided to ignore.

Just wanted to say that the most important aspect of F3 that I am curious of is the IDE integration. I want to use an alternate language for the JVM that has better expressiveness. All the good languages so far such as Jython, Groovy, Scala etc do not offer complete support in this respect. For example, Groovy integrates well with a Java project in Eclipse but does not provide sufficient code completion. Likewise, PyDev for Jython provides good code completion but integrates a little less seamlessly with a Java project. Code-completion is often a much bigger deal for Java API than with others, at least for me. I am very interested to see how F3 tackes this.

Hi.. I can't launch the F3 applications shown in this page. I have a macintosh with J2SE version 5.0 installed. When I try to launch the applications I get this message: "An error occurred while launching/running the application. Title: F3 Vendor: Sun Microsystems Category: Launch File Error Unsupported JNLP version in launch file: 1.5+. Only version 1.0 is supported with this version. Please contact the application vendor to report this problem." Can somebody help me? Thanks

How come I cannot make this launch on my Macbook Pro running 10.4.9? Help.

...javaone is almost here...how about the release? :)

Posted by falcon on April 30, 2007 at 07:06 AM PDT #

With regard to JNLP launching on MacOS - you'll just have to install a more recent version of Java - either the latest 1.5 release or the 1.6 developer preview.

Hi Chris, Like everyone else, I really like what you have done w/ F3. However, I was wondering if there is / will be a way to translate F3 code to pure java code? This would be especially useful in order to the veterans exactly what F3 is doing... If you have such a thing now, I'd really appreciate publication. Thanks

Hi Chris, I was wondering if you're aware of the work that Ethan Nicholas's group has been doing with the "Java Kernel". Do you think that could be used with F3 for a small footprint stand-alone browser plug-in ala Flash and Silverlight? How small do you think it could be?

Do your demos have to start up in a separate window with loads of hullabaloo? If you can quietly embed your demos into web pages, they would be much more impressive I think.

JavaFX? :) Congrats!

Posted by falcon on May 08, 2007 at 08:07 AM PDT #

Congratulations, Chris, on the debut of JavaFX. Can't you announce on your blog that F3 is now JavaFX (if it is:). You see, Sun has done its press conference. But some of us developers get it the wrong way around. I almost written off the Sun marketing campaign, but then I tried to find examples, and there it is, F3. In short, for some of us, form follows function:)

Congrats Chris on JavaFX. The moment I read about that I knew its F3.

Posted by Ramesh on May 09, 2007 at 08:34 AM PDT #

Congrats on Java FX. looking forward to more F3/Java FX blogs.

I'm really liking JavaFX so far. I love how this game is described in a few lines of code. Here is a slight change to the Rect component of the main frame in the game that lets you move and shoot at the same time.

Rect {
// Transparent surface for mouse events
width: 800
height: 600
fill: new Color(1, 1, 1, 0),
onMouseMoved: operation(e:CanvasMouseEvent) {
game.moveShipTo(e.localX-15);
}
onMouseReleased: operation(e) {
game.fireMissle();
}
onMouseDragged: operation(e:CanvasMouseEvent) {
game.moveShipTo(e.localX-15);
}
}

Hi Chris, I'm getting an error when I set up the game example in netbeans 5.5 - 'undefined type Frame in new Frame' in the file Game.fx at the Frame declaration. Very weird because I can run other examples with no issue. Any ideas why and how I can fix it? Thx.

Fixed import statements - it's running now.
