NetBeans 6.5 for Java SE, Java ME and JavaFX (blogs.sun.com)
NetBeans 6.5 is out ! What's new for you ?
Java SE developers get new goodies like incremental compilation so your app is always ready to run, the Analyse Javadoc feature to bring your javadoc in line and improved debugging support with an updated UI and deadlock detection.
Or why stick to Java as your language ? You could try JavaScript, which is fully supported right from navigating its different dialects while editing the code to debugging it in FireFox and IE. Or write Ruby, with better support for Rake files and break and catchpoints in the Ruby debugger. Or taking a walk on the wild side by coding up a RIA using Griffon, with the full editing support for Groovy code.
For Java ME developers, out of the box you get more SVG and data-binding components you can use in the Visual Designer Palette, or add your own. Or the LWUIT ones.
The support for JavaFX in NetBeans will get a big update with the JavaFX SDK 1.0 release, so don't delete your copy of NetBeans 6.1 with JavaFX support just yet !
Could be time to upgrade. Its getting some good press.

A Mobile Web Server on my Nokia E71 phone (ovenordstrom.blogspot.com)

The future for Java on mobile devices? (ovenordstrom.blogspot.com)
I read a very interesting blog post by Gorkem Ercan, Will Java have a place in the future of mobile devices?
It has for a long time been very hard to understand the future for Java in Mobile devices.
We have now have JavaME/MIDP2.0, Android, eRCP and soon also JavaFX Mobile & JavaME/MIDP 3.0. Different companies all the time make new decisions about the future, like Google & Motorola did with Android and Nokia some years ago talk a lot about eRCP, but nothing have happen so far, no support for eRCP on Nokia's S60 platform.
For me as a architect/developer in the mobility area it is now very hard to decide what I should learn more about. I can't learn all different technique/language, I also have to help my customers to make good choises for the future (I work as Java Consultant)
I really hope that all different important companies in the mobility Java area (Sun, Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorola ) understand that they have to do something about this mess in the mobility area.
I now would like to see more agreements between companies about the future for Java on mobile devices!! I would like to see a plan for the future, like next year Nokia release devices with support for.....
I have now arrive to Malmö, Sweden and tomorrow the Øredev conference will start here in Malmö, Sweden. I look forward to hear more about mobility and Java in mobile devices, it was also nice with short journey as a change, it was only 5 hours with train from Stockholm (were I live).
If anyone wants to meet there, feel free to contact me.

Poll: Java SE 6u10: Consumer Release of the Consumer JRE (blogs.sun.com)
This Ain't Your Dad's Java is always a podcast worth listening to, not least because the Uber-geeks turned marketing department usually let something juicy slip, like the release date for JavaFX.
Or that the latest Java Runtime Environment (technically, Java SE 6u11, a bugfix release of Java SE 6u10, which has been also known in the Planetarium is the 'Consumer JRE') will go into the Auto-Update mechanism on December 2nd too.
Auto-Update is the mechanism by which the Java runtime gets updated on the PC desktop. Better known as the bubble-pop-up-reminder-with-download-link-thingy, its the way most consumers stay up to date with the latest version.
So it will be the Consumer Release of the Consumer JRE !
For last year's Java Runtime download numbers, take a look here (jump to the 9.30 mark...).
How many downloads do you think there will be of the JRE in the first 30 days of its Consumer Release ?

Software Design and Entertainment Value (blogs.sun.com)
Jeff Hoffman is the lead user experience designer working on Java Standard Edition and JavaFX. He's been designing both consumer and developer oriented products since before the boom.
Last night I went to the movies with some friends. We saw Changeling, a powerful piece set in late 1920's Los Angeles about a woman whose little boy disappears. Afterwards I started thinking about the parallels between movie making and software design. I feel that software applications can be designed so that the user enjoys the experience, even if they are performing work-related tasks.
Going to see a movie in a theater is an experience that you expect to enjoy. Your choice of movie will definitely affect the result, but in general, it's a time that you are socializing with friends, eating junk food and kicking back to watch a story unfold on the screen. No matter what kind of story (suspense, horror, comedy, drama), you are going to the movie to gain entertainment value. Similarly, starting up computer software is an action that you perform to gain value. It could be starting up your browser to check online e-mail, or bringing up a spreadsheet program to analyze your financials.
Certainly there are detractors to seeing a movie in a theater (and hence the popularity of home theater systems, which have their own issues as well). There are the expected issues such as finding the theater, securing a parking space and waiting in line to buy tickets. Then there are the unexpected problems like denial of your credit card, the movie you wanted to see has sold out and the person in front of you with the annoyingly bright mobile device. On the software side, there are lots of things that interfere with the achievement of the your desired goal and enjoyment of it's use. Examples include poor performance, confusing instructions, unexpected errors and inaccurate results. How often do you select an action that you think will do what you want, only to find out that it doesn't, and it takes minutes (or longer) for you to return to productivity?
After we've gotten past all the expectations and disappointments, we consider how the movie is crafted. Since it's telling a story, the movie needs a beginning, a middle and an end. The beginning sets up the characters, time and location. It gives you just enough context to understand what comes next (usually, though there are exceptions like Memento). The middle of the movie is where all the really interesting stuff happens. And the end of the movie is where everything is neatly tied together (though explicit loose ends are kept around for possible sequels). This way you can go home with the whole story, and you feel complete.
You can think about software in a similar way. When you start a piece of software, it should provide you with the appropriate context to begin performing tasks that will achieve your goal. This can be an obvious "Start Here" action, or a workspace that contains items of interest. For example, if you're creating a home movie to share with folks, you might want a timeline, a way to get at your video clips and a place to see your interim results. Once the context is set, you can begin the real creative work, for example arranging clips, adding transitions and titles and adjusting the sound levels. At the end of this process, you're ready to share your work, so you package it up neatly and post it on your website. You now feel as though you've completed your goal, and you are happy.
As we're in the final throws toward releasing JavaFX, I have realized that the entertainment value of this platform is going to be a key to its success. An effort that my team and I have been spending a lot of time on has been designing sample applications to show off the capabilities of JavaFX 1.0 (along with the unbelievably productive Josh Marinacci). Each of these samples needs to tell a story and must have an easy to understand beginning, middle and end. Developers rely on the samples to get started, and to help them reach their goal of creating a compelling application.
So keep on the lookout for the launch of JavaFX 1.0, and check out the gallery of sample applications. We hope that they will educate, as well as provide some entertainment value!
The latest on Java ME and JavaCard at M3DD (blogs.sun.com)
If you are trying to get your application in front of a couple billion users, on their phones, on their PDAs, on their TV set top boxes and Blu-ray players, in their credit card, (or all of the above), you should probably get to know the various profiles of Java ME and Java Card and what frameworks and tools you can use.
A great way to do that is to spend a couple of days at to the M3DD conference this coming January 2009. Roger announced this week that the schedule has been released.
You get your basics in the platforms with talks on MIDP 3, Java Card 3, developing for Blu-ray, JavaFX.
You get up to speed on some of the new frameworks for Java ME development, like LWUIT for GUIs, Diamond Powder for collecting data, Floggy for storing application data.
And more. The Planetarium Janitor wonders if the talk Dating Tips for Developers will have something to do with the talks on Touch technology in Java ME :)

♪ What's Getting Me Through The Weeks... ♪ (blogs.sun.com)
Hello blogland!
Once again I have been quiet here on my blog as I have been so crazy busy heads down on all things JavaFX. The FX launch is quickly approaching, but I am so excited to show the world what we have in store. It's world domination. One step at a time.
In any case, we have had many late nights and early mornings and when I am not in meetings or in the studio I am listening to my music full blast and getting things done.
What music has my toes tapping recently? I have downloaded a bunch of new releases from some of my favorite people ever, but my trusty and true music always has me coming back for more. Here is what has me going this week in no particular order:
1. Ryan Adams and The Cardinals: Cardinology -- this it the latest release from the crew and it's as beautiful as everything they have ever released. I just recently discovered that they (as in The Cardinals) are on Twitter. If you are interested, follow them here. Along with everything else Mr. Adams does, I could be a happy girl listening to just him alone. But, I have to spread the love to all.
2. Pete Yorn: musicforthemorningafter, Day I Forgot, Nightcrawler and miscellaneous b-side and non-released music that he hasn't put out. Pete just soothes my soul. Enough said. Next up is Pete on Twitter. Again, Mr. Yorn is one I could only listen to and never get tired of hearing him sing sweet nothings in my ear.
3. Greg Laswell: Through Toledo and Three Flights From Alto Nido. I am a fan of anything Mr. Laswell does.
4. Keane: Perfect Symmetry -- this is their latest release and definitely a different sound than we are use to from them. But I am slowly beginning to really enjoy this album.
5. Travis: Ode to J. Smith -- how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I could listen to anything Travis does on constant repeat and never get bored.
6. The Smiths: The Sounds of The Smiths -- The Smiths and Morrissey are my junior high and high school years. iTunes recently got this compilation and there is just something about Morrissey and his voice that will make me feel forever young. And again, one I can listen to over and over.
So there is a little taste of what has me going and helping me when I am heads down. Go and check out some of the amazing artists (or all of them actually). As I always say, your ears will thank you.
Enjoy your day!
JavaFX, OpenSSOリリースと企業買収 (blogs.sun.com)
本日の面白いニュースです。 スペシャルリリースと企業買収
SpringSource は、GroovyとGrailsのスペシャリストが集う企業であるG2Oneを買収したと伝えました。 双方の方、おめでとうございます。 The Registerの記事や、 DZoneにはRodによる、彼らの JCP ECでの新しい役割についてのコメントを ご覧ください。 これでSpringSourceはJSR 241を完了することができるかもしれません。EGが形成されてからもう４年以上経ちますし。。。

DannyはJavaFXが12月2日（現地時間）についにリリースされることを約束しました。 彼はInfoQのJavaFX Overviewのなかで簡単に 触れています。現在のRC版はこちらから。 さらなる情報はローンチが近くなるにつれて明らかになっていくでしょう。
Message to developers (blogs.sun.com)
Here is a demonstration of the power of the JavaFX platform. We are still fixing some issues, so the clip will only play if you are within Sun's internal network an it will only play on the Mac since the clip is encoded as mp4.Media player - written in JavaFX Script
Below is the code of the JavaFX applet that creates the video player. This sample is bundled with NetBeans 6.5, the upcoming distribution that has support for JavaFX Script.
package simplevideoplayer; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.Scene; import com.sun.fxmediacomponent.*; import javafx.scene.Group; def mediaUrl:String = "http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/09b01806/09b01806_00.mp4"; println("using mediaUrl = {mediaUrl}"); var vidWidth = 512; var vidHeight = 288; var fullWidth = 700; var fullHeight = 400; var mediaBox:MediaComponent = MediaComponent { // set the media and make the component visible mediaSourceURL : bind mediaUrl visible:true // the position and size of the media on screen mediaX: (fullWidth-vidWidth)/2 // center mediaY: (fullHeight-vidHeight)/2 // center mediaViewWidth : vidWidth mediaViewHeight: vidHeight mediaVisible: true // determines if the control bar is visible at all controlBarVisible: true // determines if the control bar is below the media or on top staticControlBar: false // the position of the scroll bar. //leave as the defaults to have it be below the media //controlBarX: -1 //controlBarY: -1 // set the size for full screen. fullScreenWidth: fullWidth fullScreenHeight: fullHeight // make the movie play as soon as it's loaded mediaPlayerAutoPlay: true // set the volume volume: 0.5 }; Stage { title: "Simple Media Player" scene: Scene{ width: fullWidth height: fullHeight content: mediaBox } }
JavaFX Getting Started: HelloWorld (blogs.sun.com)
In my previous Getting Started blog, I talked about creating a vanilla UI Stage (Window) with JavaFX. In this one, I'll build on it to make it more colorful and more interesting by adding more language features.
First, let's add a Scene. A Scene is like Java Canvas/Panel, on which one can paint or add other objects.
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene; // added Scene fucntionality
import javafx.scene.paint.Color; // added colorsAnd then added to Stage
Stage {
title: "Hello World" // Changed title to "Hello World"
visible: true
scene: Scene {
width: 250 // Scene width instead of Stage width
height: 80 // Scene height instead of Stage
fill: Color.BLACK // Color is Black
}
Here's another tidbit. Specifying width/height of a Stage sets the size of a window, including its decorations and border. Typically, developers want to set size of a content area (Scene) instead and have the window assume proper size based on its window decorations. An easy way to do this is to define the width/height on a Scene instead of on the Stage as shown in this example.
Next, let's add some regular shapes like a Rectangle to the Scene we just created.
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle; // For drawing Rectangles
And then add to the Scene we created previously:
scene: Scene {
width: 250
height: 80
fill: Color.BLACK
content: Rectangle { // add an array of contents, here just one element
x: 10 // x position for the rectangle
y: 10 // y position for the rectangle
width: 230 // width of rectangle starting at 'x'
height: 60 // height of rectangle starting at 'y'
fill: Color.BLUE // Fill rectangle with BLUE color
}
}And here is what you get:
One last thing, I would like to add to this example is text labels. Here is how you can;
Obviously, we need to import the right packages/classes to make use of Text and Fonts:
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;And then we need to add the following to the Stage:
fill: Color.BLACK
content: [ // Note that contents is now an array instead
Rectangle { // this code remains the same as above except that the corners are round now
x: 10 y: 10
width: 230 height: 60
arcWidth: 20 arcHeight: 20
fill: Color.BLUE
}
Text { // This is the new code I added for adding text lables
x: 40 y: 50
font: Font { size: 20 }
fill: Color.WHITE
content: "Hello JavaFX World!"
}
]When you compile and run this example, you will see the following:
Obviously, you have quesrtions like why do we have ":" and what is on the left or ":". Well, on the left of ":" is the instance variables that we have been using in these examples. For example "x" & "y"
- /JavaFX
- helloworld
- java
- javafx
- ria
Getting Started: Hello JavaFX (blogs.sun.com)
C set the precedence of starting with "Hello World" or was it "hello world", and other languages followed it. I decided not to break the tradition though JavaFX is GUI lingo.
Assuming that you have your preferred IDE all set, here is how to get started with Hello JavaFX:
/*
* HelloJavaFX.fx
*
* Created on Nov 11, 2008
*/
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/**
* @author Kuldeep Pabla
*/
Stage {
title: "Hello JavaFX"
width: 250
height: 250
visible: true
}If you are one of those advanced users who use CLI, you may want to run the following commands to compile and run
Compile:
> javafxc HelloJavaFX.fx
Run
> javafx HelloJavaFX
And you get to see the first JavaFX UI popping up:
Let's now disect the code to understand what's going on.
Any java developer would understand that the following lines are comments in Java and JavaFX
/*
* HelloJavaFX.fx
*
* Created on Nov 11, 2008
*/Following line imports, like Java, required methods for setting the STAGE (Window) to draw on.
import javafx.stage.Stage;
Next few lines are used by documentation generator as documentation tags. Here author is the tag. You do not have to have it.
/**
* @author Kuldeep Pabla
*/I would say, next few lines are the actual code that you would write at this early stage of learning. It is very easy to understand. It defines the Window UI to be created. It has just four elements, title of the window ( in this case "Hello JavaFX" ), width ( 240 ) and height ( 250 ) of the window and that it should be visible.
Stage {
title: "Hello JavaFX"
width: 240
height: 250
visible: true
}That is pretty much it. I found it to be exciting. Hope, so did you.

JavaFX 1.0 release date is December 2nd 2008 ! (blogs.sun.com)
The Janitor can barely go to Portland for the weekend without much JavaFX news happening.
As you may have heard on the This Ain't Your Dad's Java podcast, the release date is December 2nd. Rumor has it in the backrooms of the Planetarium that the final release candidate is being tested.
Simon described some of the reasons it's time to get excited about JavaFX. InfoQ gives a nice overview of the Java FX family. Others down under wonder if JavaFX is too late. JavaWorld walks you through getting started on your first JavaFX application.
That is, if you want to get a head start ahead of the December 2nd release of JavaFX 1.0.

I like an idea of semantic web. I'm happy when I see implemenation of it. I think these images do not need any comments. When you open this LINK you will be excited. These Web sites are done by Macromedia Flash. I mention that because our JavaFX wants to be a concurrency to Flash. I think this could be very good stimul.

Java RIA languages: Cast your vote ! (blogs.sun.com)
The news that with the new Browser Plugin for Java SE 6u10, you can script applets from a web page no matter what language the applet is written in, attracted a lot of interest last week. And unintentionally committed a sin of omission.
Together with the work on the new Java bytecode and VM support for dynamic languages, the Janitor thinks that makes a pretty interesting picture for Rich Internet Applications that use the Java runtime, whichever language you want to use.
Every so often, a big fat standard industry survey lands on the doorstep here at the Planetarium. Such surveys seek to find out what languages developers like to use. And just speaking inside these four walls, the picture can still be a bit confusing.
So cast your (other) vote here !
JavaFX - good introduction (blogs.sun.com)
Since I become Campus Ambassadors Coordinator I believe in pressentation success of SCAs I have to coordinate. One of Sun Campus Ambassador from Hungary Gergo Sulymosi is going to have a pressentation around JavaFX language. For doing any presenation or educate your sefl I strongly recommend to go through blogs or tutorials placed on these links. Do not forget about NetBeans implementation. It is very heplful. You can show real time how to work with JavaFX. Enjoy and have a nice day!

Java RIAs, Languages and JavaFX (blogs.sun.com)
That cooperation and competition are the drivers of evolutionary systems is one reason that Java in the RIA space is a fascinating place to be right now. Many have high hopes in the competition for JavaFX, which, aside from having its foundation in the Java Runtime, has new special purpose language, media and cross-device capabilities.
But its not the only RIA technology betting on the Java Runtime, as was interesting to note here.
Based on Swing and the popular Groovy language, Griffon is attracting a lot of interest. As is the Galileo RIA framework, the million records test-passing Pivot Toolkit, or look at the the game focussed PulpCore, and the ambitious Sage application rendering engine, described here.
Such diversity benefits greatly by making the Java Runtime it lives on more lightweight, and to support multiple languages Java really well: both by supporting them all explicitly in the applet model, and making them all run great on the JVM.
Making for a healthy space for more new ideas.
Update (Nov 4th): Take part in the Planetarium RIA Language Poll !
Java SE 6u10: Some things you may not know (blogs.sun.com)
While we haven't added all the numbers up yet, the manual downloads for Java SE 6u10 are looking very nice: a little over 3 million in the first week. And of course, that number will jump up in a big way when it gets published through the Java Update mechanism, which is how most ordinary users will get it. In an average month there are 40-50 million auto-update downloads, though it can be much higher.
And many people have been talking about the release, as you know.
But did you know that this release includes version 11 of the Hotspot VM which includes some performance improvements to the server compiler. No wonder people are using it to run Glassfish.
And thanks to Ken's work on the new Java Plugin, you can make calls from Javascript in a web page to any of the applets in that web page, no matter what language the applet is written in ! E.g. JavaFX Script, JRuby, Jython, Scala applets in a web page are easily scriptable, thanks to the new LiveConnect interfaces in 6u10.
User Interfaces across Java SE, Java ME and JavaFX (blogs.sun.com)
There's no shortage of creativity in the space of GUI technologies for client devices of all kinds PCs, phones and TV set top boxes.
For the Java programmers on the desktop, Swing is still evolving, with efforts like the Swing Application Framework for Java SE 7, continued recent experimentation with layout tools, ever more scriptable test frameworks, and neat apps like this PDF viewing Swing component.
For Java programmers on today's mobile phones, the baseline is the LCDUI in MIDP, but with SVG being deployed on more phones, and LWUIT gaining interest, the Janitor wasn't sure where this was all headed, till he read this comparison.
And of course for the developer/designer crowd, the Common Profile of the JavaFX API provides a uniform GUI framework, a scene graph of nodes, which scales from PC down to the phone for modern rich clients, with the device specific widgets in the Desktop and upcoming Mobile Profiles. If you need them.
