TextInputDialog

to be specific.

dont you need to startup the platform?

ja you need the toolkit

@edvin ok so this works to startup javafx

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

the

new JFXPanel()

bootstraps the toolkit

but the application goes on, the showandWait is on the wrong thread 🙂

@ron When you do that you probably also start up Swing, so we should find another approach.

Hang on.

@ron You can probably use a countdownlatch.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

Just adapt for getting the value out of a text dialog instead of just showing an alert.

mhwahaha (evil laugh) it works!

Wow, cool! How did the code end up?

@User uploaded a file: Untitled and commented: This creates the dialog.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled and commented: This is the PasswordFinder that gets called

Perfect 🙂

I need an ordering

this is the current ordering

sshClient.authPublickey(username, noPassphrase, javaFxProvider, consoleProvider);

so it tries the noPassphrase first, then the javafxProvider and lastly the consoleProvider

the noPassphrase has to be first, in case the identifyFile does not have a passphrase, the other two are like this because I wanted to trigger the javafxprovider first and only fallback to the consoleprovider if there is no way of starting up the javafxprovider

My first thought would be to prefer the console if it's available and use JavaFX as a fallback. Alternatively we could make the order configurable if somebody ever needs to change the default.

Actually, what about leaving JavaFX before Console.. then we could add some info to the JavaFX popup about how to use keys for a better experience etc.

No need to do it now though.

I'll keep it like this for now

now its only one line, if we want to make the ordering configurable it will be more lines

Absolutely. Good plan.

I am writing the readme now and then I will push to github. I am keeping the version at 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT for now

OK. Fantastic work, Ron :)) Can't wait to try it!
