JavaFX Widgets and Series
Filed under: javafx on Wednesday Jan 07, 2009
A great one-month
birthday gift for JavaFX
yesterday was the release of the
widget-framework-built-in-JavaFX called WidgetFX 1.0 !And two in-depth blog series on JavaFX have kicked off that you may like: Filter effects framework engineer Chris Campbell, kicks off his series describing on how developers can use the javafx.scene.effects package to create visual effects on nodes in a scenegraph (like this), and follows up in the second describing how the JavaFX implementation takes a hybrid approach to make the effects look good at any resolution.
And Alex Ruiz on using the FEST framework to test JavaFX apps. So far, looking at using Maxim's SwingExplorer to understand the GUI of a JavaFX application and thoughts on how to extend FEST for JavaFX, and second in the series how to use the FEST launcher to get the JavaFX app running in the test environment.

Many thanks for the link to my blog :)
One minor correction though, SwingExplorer is not part of FEST. It is the creation of Maxim Zakharenkov. I used this wonderful tool to figure out the internals of a JavaFX UI. Once that part was done, I used FEST to create a functional test case for that UI.
Cheers,
-Alex
