Using JavaFX objects from within Java: a very bad joke from Sun
Accessing JavaFX from Java...so bad it just boggles the mind.
jSilhouette: demo screenshots and code
jSilhouette includes a demo application for each one of its subprojects (geom, scene & jfx) showing the shapes in action. This post is a recollection of what happened during the time those applications were developed and what lessons I learned while doing so.java.net.Authenticator with Groovy, Matisse and Twitter
For the sake of learning, I wanted to see what it'd take to create a Twitter Updater using Groovy and Matisse. The surprise in the deal: java.net.Authenticator. I thought it was gonna be simple...the answer -- at the time no...looking back...not bad at all really. (With code examples!)Groovy Generation of Modular Desktop Applications
I came across a rather cool blog entry today (via the always excellent http://groovyblogs.org/), ICEFaces Project Generation Using Groovy, by Rob Mayhew. Very cool that he included all his code. A few tweaks later I was able to generate a new NetBeans Platform application from GroovyJava SwingBuilder 0.2 DEV : added support for SWT-style menu API
Bringing SWT-style menu API to Swing for maximum productivity. Java SwingBuilder is an attempt to bring dynamic language-type productivity to Java Swing UI development by defining the layout/event wiring/binding in a separate YAML file and leaving the Java class to focus on pure business-side code.

GraphicsBuilder Experimentation
This afternoon I was experimenting with GraphicsBuilder on Groovy, and I'm blown away. It took a bit of work to get setup because I wanted to play around with the SVG rendering support (which isn't included in the 0.5.1 package that is currently available). Once I built from the trunk, it worked like a charm. Below are the steps that I went through to set things up in case it is useful to anyone else.Java SwingBuilder: support for JScrollPane, Border, Icon + new discussion group

Meet Andres Almiray as the interview series on Swing, RIA, JavaFX and related topics that started with Amy Fowler, Mikael Grev, David Qiao and Chet Haase continues.Groovy Builders, JCR (and MigLayout to the rescue)
still am struggling with the JCR Query functionality. The whole idea of supporting both XPath and/or SQL-like syntax with some additions is, for me personally, rather challenging.
What to do? Either read docu, source code, create tests against the API or create a little GUI to test it with.
So, finally a good excuse to use the SwingBuilder. Beeing in dire need of a refresh on Swing (remember Java 1.2? Sheesh...) I stumbled upon MigLayout, which, kind of ironically, plays to my (meager) CSS know-how.Java SwingBuilder : first support for validations, inching towards 0.1 release

I've been messing around with Groovy's SwingBuilder in my spare time. I did quite a bit of google-ing trying to figure out how to bind widget values to model properties. The example on the Groovy website wasn't very real world though it did get me pointed in the right direction.JavaBuilders : taking on the complex GUI example from ZoneLayout
An attempt to come up with the API that would allow to design complex GUIs using MigLayout under the hood and interring the layout from how the controls are laid out in a plain YAML file.
