JavaFX Breakout (Project Nile) Webstart Link

Friday, October 10th, 2008

By request, I’ve posted a Java Web Start enabled version of the JavaFX Illustrator Breakout app described in the previous post.

The app requires at least Java 6 to run (and possibly even 1.6u10, but I’m not positive on that — but hey, Java 6u10 is out of beta, so why not grab it anyway?)

I should throw in all kinds of caveats about poor collision detection and bugs all over the place, but it’s just a play test to futz with Project Nile — so keep that in mind, and be gentle.  I’d be happy to post the source code too if there’s interest.

Anyway, enough of my gabbing.  Click here to launch it.

    Neat! So the key question is “How much javafx code was required?” – hope to see the code soon.

    Sweet! Man, that’s nice. I don’t know anything about anything at all, but there’s no way I could do that in Swing!

    …um…yes, i am kind of slow…

    This is great! When can we expect to see JavaFX apps inline with blog posts, like a YouTube video or a Flash app, instead of having to launch it separately?

    Hey David, thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ve been well since JavaOne.

    JavaFX apps can also run as Applets, so they could be embedded on a webpage…for whatever reason I’ve just favored webstart apps.

    Very neat!
    Would love to see the code, for this application.

    Great! Too bad it doesn’t run (at least on my latest version of Ubuntu) — and, yes, all other JavaFX samples I have encountered work great.

    In reference to those having trouble running this: this is (generously) hosted on my friend’s personal server, and bandwidth is limited.

    I have noticed that it says “download stalled” at several points during the download (for me anyway). But it eventually pulls through (again, for me).

    I’m a hack Java programmer (coming from .NET, AJAX, etc.) and I just started looking into JavaFX. It looks really nice to me. I understand a first release and the associated bugs, but I think there is a lot of promise here.

    Good job on the demo. I would love to get my hands on the source and to modify it (I’m thinking a custom one to put on my kids’ mobile…I can also test the portability of the source from one type (application, applet, mobile app) to another.

    Thank you,

    Jeremiah
