I'm thinking about doing the 1.7.2 release this weekend. It includes everything I was hoping for, and the Wizard seems to be working great. Let me know if anybody knows about stuff that should go into this release. I need to write docs for Wizard and some other components, will start that after the release.

I think it's ready for release

Wow, that sounds nice. Cool surroundings 🙂

Nice 😀

@ron Ouch, I messed up the JsonStructure.save(path) - https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/pull/300

It works with a file outputstrean

Yeah, I only messed up the

path

version.

@abhinay commented on @ron’s file : Awesome workplace!!

Whats the easiest way to deploy a JavaFX or TornadoFX application into a JAR file, and consolidate the JRE with it?

@thomasnield Javapackager can give you a native installer that includes the JRE if that's what you mean? On top of that, FXLauncher will give you automatic app updates so you can just deploy a new version of your app and your users will automatically get it on the next app start. We have a Gradle plugin already, and Ron is close to finishing the Maven plugin. It works great for Maven right now, but the pom is kind of verbose. I can help you get started if this is what you need.

@gtnarg @ron @nimakro and others who are constantly submitting code, ideas and PR's to TornadoFX - please add a PR if you want to be featured in the

developers

section of

pom.xml

🙂

@edvin I will consider it, but I think I will continung sending PR and if they get better we can add me to the developers list 😀 Some other question, I am working on a TornadoFx app which will connect to other third party services with OAuth2, did anybody use already OAuth2 with TornadoFx and JavaFx

WebView

, so fare I am considering the google lib or apache Oltu

@nimakro OK, great 🙂

I've not used OAuth2 in a while, maybe there is something we can do to better integrate with the Rest client. Will check.

Well at the moment I am thinking of how I implement to retrieve an access token, because usually you do that in the browser and send a redirect url, but I think I will do it like they described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12280391/retrieving-access-token-of-oauth-2-0-implicit-grant-from-java-desktop-client-u and use the WebView

AFAIK, even retrieving the access token is API based, so you don't really need the web browser, you can create a custom UI to do it.

Oky I think I have to read more about this 🙈, but if that's the case I will build a custom UI and fill it with the info 😃

I have some code that does it for a website, without any library. TBH usually you dont need a library to do it

its a wicket app, I'll add you to the gitlab repo, I made it a few years ago when we were running a fitness program at work

@ron 👍 Thanks.

wicket is my framework to go if I want some fast

@nimakro @edvin I used OAuth2 in a JavaFX client to get at the Dropbox API. The web browser is important because that's where the user logs into the target service (ex Dropbox) using their account info. It's not simply "make a call, get a token". In this JavaFX app, 1. Beforehand, register the app with the service (ex, my JavaFX client registered at Dropbox) 2. The user opens a browser and navigates to a special URL 3. The user logs into dropbox and get an access token 4. (my impl) The user pastes the token from the web page into a JavaFX textfield 5. The Dropbox authorization is finished in the JavaFX client and an access token is retrieved 6. The access token is used in subsequent calls

The involvement of the browser is so that you never handle the user's credentials. It defeats the purpose of OAuth to wrap this up into a simple username/password -> token exchange.

the wicket app I liked does exactly this. only as it is a webserver I can redirect to a page and pick up the token there

you could do that in a javafx app but then for a short time you would a miniserver

@ron my implementation was all client-side. I did bring the browser up and have them manually convey the info back to JavaFX.

yup
