The bug is restricted - intentional? I'm guessing this is class data sharing and would make startup of packaged apps faster? On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 12:52 AM, Chris Bensen wrote: > +1 > > On Mar 30, 2015, at 3:11 PM, Danno Ferrin wrote: > > > Kevin, Chris, please review > > > > jira: https://j

Setting hover by the API

2015-03-31 Thread Hervé Girod
Hello, We have a use case where we need to set a kind of bounding box around Nodes to be able to select them easily by touch. In our case we use an interactive transparent Pane containing the Nodes (which are set as transparent to mouse events). We also need to handle correctly the hover stat

What are the plans for Java9?

2015-03-31 Thread Tom Schindl
Hi, Are there any official plans already for Java9? One of the major pain points I see is that the java-packager does not support to set a splash-screen and also ignores the -splash argument who works when launching with java ... . Another very obvious thing at least on all the windows machine I

Hi Jim, Thanks, that makes things much clearer. I was surprised how much was going on under the hood of GraphicsContext and hoped it was just magic glue that gave the best of GPU acceleration where available and immediate-mode-like simple rasterizing where not. I've managed to find an anomaly wi

Do you have any stats on the perf improvement? My understanding of CDS is that it was primarily meant to reduce memory usage on systems where multiple Java apps are running on the same JRE simultaneously. I guess that won't apply to packaged apps so the only benefit can be startup time. On Tue, Ma

Hi Hervé, That's a valid question :) Probably because a) All my non-UI graphics experience is with immediate-mode / raster systems b) I'm interested in using JavaFX for particle effects / demoscene / gaming so assumed (perhaps wrongly?) that scenegraph was not the way to go for that due to the
