Keep it as simple as possible!
Wrote a small utility class to control animated sliding of a SplitPane.Divider. You can find the complete code in my Bitbucket repo here. I intend to make it as simple as possible to attach a slide-animation to a standard SplitPane: splitPane The SplitPane to be animated. dividerIndex Index of the divider to… Continue Reading SplitPane.Divider Transition
Yesterday I posted an article about about how I added CDI support to adm4EE. You can find the post here on my new project site jfx4ee.org.
Today I would like to announce a new project I have started at bitbucket: adm4EE I want to create a JavaFX based management tool to ease the daily business of Java EE Application Server admins. “A tool to manage App Servers? What about the already existing admin consoles?” The aim is to keep the UI as… Continue Reading Introducing ‘adm4EE’: Manage Java EE Application Servers

In a former post I wrote about my trouble getting touch support up an running with my eGalax Touch Display, JavaFX and the Raspberry Pi. Today Simon gave me a hint how he solved that touch event issues with JavaFX. Many Kudos to Simon Ritter (@speakjava)! The Clue It turns out that the screen driver… Continue Reading Solved: eGalax Touch Screen issues with JavaFX (on Raspberry Pi)
Looking for a lightweight Java-based solution to run REST services on embedded systems I already had an eye on the Vert.x project. I was excited to see there is a talk about it on the agenda of the Herbstcampus in Nuremberg last week (I talked about my RasPi projects). It was a pleasure to attend… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part V): Just around the corner
Recently had some fun when controlling my stepper motor with my Raspberry Pi. The motor: a 28BYJ-48 with ULN2003 driver unit: Cool: Pi4J has a ready to use GpioStepperMotorComponent. Let’s assume this architecture: Thus we start with the StepperMotorAdapter using this component. First some helpfull defines: private final int oneRevolution = 2038; private final int… Continue Reading JavaFX on Raspberry Pi: Some fun with stepper motor
Refer for latest updates here. Hi, some minor FontAwesomeFX updates: The AwesomeDude now provides convenience methods to add an AwesomeFont-Icon to existing Labeled-controls and MenuItems by setting the graphic node: labeled.setGraphic(createIconLabel(icon,iconSize)); Recall that direct subclasses of Labeled are ButtonBase, Cell, Label, TitledPane and their friends (by now I have not tested all combination). setIcon(Labeled labeled,… Continue Reading ‘Font Awesome’ Icons with JavaFX: minor updates

Thus: Major Changes: Added all new version 3.2.1 icons (now 361 icons in total). Removed leading “ICON_” from AwesomeIcon Enum (AwesomeIcon.GEARS… Continue Reading ‘Font Awesome’ Icons with JavaFX revisited
Hi all, until now all UI-Actions to control my wireless gears had to run directly on the Pi which controls the remote as e.g. deviceControl.turnOn(device); is called. But now I’d rather make a web service available for this purpose to be more independently. Question is: Which server should I use? Apache/PHP: too less Java 😉… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part IV): Cut the ‘rope’
