Gluon Ignite library
Dependency Injection Frameworks in JavaFX applications
• With the Gluon Ignite library, developers can use popular dependency injection frameworks in their JavaFX
applications, including inside their FXML controllers
• Gluon Ignite creates a common abstraction over several popular dependency injection frameworks:
– currently Guice, Spring, and Dagger, and plan to add more as the demand becomes obvious
• With full support of JSR-330 Gluon Ignite makes using dependency injection in JavaFX applications trivial
• Example of creating an application using the Guice framework and Gluon Ignite:

JavaFX Runtime Architektur
JavaFX Architektur Komponenten
• Glass Windowing Toolkit: Provides native operating services, such as managing the
windows, timers, and surfaces
• Prism: Graphics pipeline that can run on hardware and software renderers
• UI Toolkit: Ties Prism and Glass together and makes them available to the JavaFX APIs

JavaFX Architektur
• Internal API
• Course-grained porting layer
− FX APIs isolated from
implementation details
implementation details
• Allows porting to completely
different systems

JavaFX Architektur
• Quantum Toolkit ties Prism and Glass
Windowing Toolkit together and makes
them available to the JavaFX layer above
in the stack
• Quantum Toolkit manages the threading
rules related to rendering versus events
handling

JavaFX Architektur
• Graphics API
− Converts the scene graph into
rendering calls
− Abstracts D3D, OpenGL*, Java2D
behind a “Graphics” object
− Handles “dirty regions”, clipping, and
other optimizations
− Font support
− Rasterization• Use hardware where possible
− Fast paths using shaders for ellipses, rectangles, etc.
• Reduce context switches
− Looking towards possible state sorting optimizations in the future
• Fallback to software rendering when necessary
− Bad drivers are the main reason for doing so
* No direct OpenGL support

JavaFX Architektur
• Windowing API
− Windows
− Mac
− Linux
• Provides basic OS services
− Drawing surface
− Input events
− Event queue

Scenegraph
• Instead of remove/add:
− group.getChildren().remove(node);
− group.getChildren().add(0, node);
• node.toFront()
JavaFX Scenegraph
• node.toFront()
• node.toBack()
Scenegraph
−node.toFront()
−node.toBack()

• Layout Manager
– Teilweise automatisch überführen
– Teilweise automatisch überführen
– Manuelle Tätigkeit
• Geschäftslogik/Code entflechten
– Wie stark ist die Verzahnung von Code & UI?
• Fachlicher Freeze während der Migration, mit dem Ziel
einer möglichst kurzen Code-Freeze-Phase

Barrierefreiheit mit JavaFX
• GUI can be made more accessible by providing screen reader devices
which speak graphical content to blind people
• JavaFX accessibility on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X
– By providing support for reading JavaFX controls via a screen reader
• Apple's VoiceOver for the Mac, Microsoft's Narrator for Windows
Accessibility support with JDK 8 Update 40
• Apple's VoiceOver for the Mac, Microsoft's Narrator for Windows
• Job Access With Speech (JAWS) Screen Reader for Windows by Freedom Scientific
– By providing JavaFX controls that are traversable using the keyboard
• By supporting a special high-contrast mode that makes controls more visible to
users
– this mode is activated on Windows by pressing Alt+Left Shift+Print Screen
Source: http://www.javaworld.com/article/2991463/learn-java/javafx-improvements-in-java-se-8u40.html

JavaFX supports accessibility by adding the following
properties to the javafx.scene.Node class
• accessibleRoleProperty
– Node's accessible role, which is a value of the javafx.scene.AccessibleRole
enumerated type that identifies the kind of control to the screen reader
– E.g., AccessibleRole.BUTTON or AccessibleRole.MENU.
– The screen reader uses a node's role to identify supported attributes and actions
• accessibleRoleDescriptionProperty
• accessibleRoleDescriptionProperty
– Node's role description, which is a string
• accessibleTextProperty
– Node's accessible text, which is a string
• accessibleHelpProperty
– Node's accessible help, which is a string
• javafx.scene.control.Label labelFor-property is used by a
screen reader to provide more information to the user

JavaFX provides an advanced API for interacting with
screen reader and accessing accessibility state
• Advanced API includes the javafx.scene.AccessibleAction and
javafx.scene.AccessibleAttribute enumerated types along with
the following Node methods:
– Object queryAccessibleAttribute(AccessibleAttribute attribute,
Adv. API to introduce accessibility support to own controls or other nodes
– Object queryAccessibleAttribute(AccessibleAttribute attribute,
Object... parameters)
– void executeAccessibleAction(AccessibleAction action, Object...
parameters)
– Void notifyAccessibleAttributeChanged(AccessibleAttribute
attributes)

Design Objectives
Oracle’s next generation Java client solution
• Built on Java in Java
• Modular architecture
• Migration path for Java client UI technologies
JavaFX – Moving Client Forward
• Migration path for Java client UI technologies
• Advanced tooling
• Delivering on the cross-platform promise

Design Objectives
• Defining a Property
• Using a ChangeListener
• Using the High-Level Binding API
– The High-Level API is the quickest way to use bindings in applications
– It consists of two parts: the Fluent API, and the Bindings class
JavaFX – Properties and Bindings
– It consists of two parts: the Fluent API, and the Bindings class
• The Fluent API exposes methods on the various dependency objects, where as the Bindings class
provides static factory methods instead
– Bindings Class could used to do the same thing too
• Exploring Observable, ObservableValue, InvalidationListener, and ChangeListener
– Using an InvalidationListener
• Using the Low-Level Binding API

Java APIs und FXML
Java APIs für JavaFX
• End-to-end Java development
• Java language features - generics,
annotations, multi-threading
• Fluent API for UI construction
FXML
• Scriptable, XML-based markup language
for defining UI
• Convenient alternative to developing UI
programmatically in Java
• Fluent API for UI construction
• Alternative JVM supported languages
(e.g. Groovy, Scala) with JavaFX
• Leverage sophisticated Java IDEs,
debuggers and profilers
• Java APIs preserve convenient
JavaFX Script features (e.g., bind)
programmatically in Java
• Easy to learn and intuitive for developers
familiar with web technologies or other
markup based UI technologies
• Powerful scripting feature allows
embedding scripts within FXML. Any JVM
scripting language can be used, including
JavaScript, Groovy, and Scala

Modena Modern Theme – Since JavaFX 8

Rich Text - Since JavaFX 8
• Use Cases
– text editor, code editor
– mixed style Labels, buttons, cells, headings, descriptions,
large textual content, etc.
• Details
• Details
– TextFlow, a new layout container
– Text is just a node… so you can add effects, event
handlers, and animations
– You can also use CSS, FXML

TreeTableView - Since JavaFX 8
• Goal: reuse as many API, or API concepts, as possible from
the TreeView and TableView controls API

DatePicker - Since JavaFX 8

Public API for CSS structure - Since JavaFX 8
• CSS styling is one of the key features for JavaFX
• CSS has been implemented exclusively in private API
(com.sun.javafx.css package)
• Tools (e.g. Scene Builder) require a CSS public API
• Tools (e.g. Scene Builder) require a CSS public API
• Developers will be able to define custom CSS styles
