Changes: The JavaFX Community

Revision as of 20:41, 15 May 2007

Connecting to OpenJFX

The hub of all activity in the JavaFX world is most certainly OpenJFX.org which links over to the dev.java.net page.

In order to fully immerse yourself in the community (and this goes for most dev.java.net projects), you should do the following (also note the JavaFX front page has a very similar How to Contribute guide):

Sign up for a dev.java.net account
Log in
Join the Mailing Lists -- dev and user lists have the most content.
Browse the forums
If you want to be able to post messages to the forums, you will have to request project Observer status.

Links and Information

Some interesting links:

The JavaFX Programming Language offers an informal but quite detailed look at the language and its features.
The Welcome to JavaFX message by Chris Oliver provides a history of the language and some design decisions.
Chris Oliver's weblog, especially the F3 category also has some history and cool examples.
