Haven't had frog since I was a teenager

Okay, so where does one get TornadoFX tee shirts?

I never had frog actually, so it was fun. Almost like chicken 🙂 T-Shirts... I will fix!

I there an easy way to bind multiple

StringProperties

to one, so that any of the changes will be reflected in the one

StringProperty

they are bound to?

@nimakro Do you mean like

stringBinding(stringProp1, stringProp2) { "${stringProp1.value} - ${stringProp2.value}" }

?

Take a look at stringexpression.concat

No I mean if stingBinding1 changes or stringBinding2 changes the resiver stringBindging will show any changes eaother one of them, so no concatination

Like an or() binding?

Newbie FX question: What is the current start-of-the-art when it comes to deploying JavaFX applications? Is there a Gradle plugin to produce platform specific installers or similar? I assume Web deployment is pretty much a no-go these days?

@chris-hatton there are maven and gradle plugins.

I've never used them though, so I'm not sure of their capabilities

@edvin has an FXLauncher

@chris-hatton ^^^

Thanks 🙂

is there anything extra I need to do/wire up so that when I add an item to my listview, the model sees it as dirty? Currently adding an item to the list view doesn't mark the model as dirty. model.choices is an ObservableArraylist

add(button("Add") {
                            setOnAction {
                                model.choices.value.add(Iris.activeChoice)
                            }
                        })
                        choiceList = listview(model.choices) {
                            isEditable = true
                            cellFactory = ComboBoxListCell.forListView(Iris.getChoices().observable())
                        }

@carlw Yes like an

or

binding but for strings I couldn't find anything like that..

@nimakro do you know about When? http://bekwam.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-case-statement-for-javafx-binding.html?m=1

@carlw Ah nice that will do the trick.... I didn't know that one yet thanks

@chris-hatton you can build native code signed installers for each platform that include a bundled JRE. that's how we do it.

@chris-hatton there's also FXLauncher but I haven't tried it. the downside of the native installer approach (which is an officially supported feature in java 8) is that of course, the downloads can be quite large.

not that many people seem to care these days though

oh, also, such downloadable binaries don't auto update.

e.g. the FXLauncher stub program goes from 14kb to 68mb when natively packaged 😹

i'm working on a tool that should improve this situation somewhat

Thanks, this is quite important to me as what I have in mind would be a business application for public deployment.

So the installation has to be seamless (yes, bundled JRE critical)

yep well, the tools can do that. they're just not very space efficient. in java 9 the jlink tool should allow us to cut down the sizes quite significantly, if the app is modularised (which of course most won't be)
