Yes that is one thing that Gradle has going for it. When Kotlin script is fully developed that is probably an opportune time to investigate switching. It would be pretty swell to invoke TornadoFX dialogs as part of build tasks.

That's what I decided as well - wait until Kotlin script is 100%.

@edvin here is the project you set up. Thanks again for your help! https://github.com/thomasnield/maven_mutli_project_example

@thomasnield Iike how your first reaction is giving back to whoever can benefit from it 👏

@thomasnield You could also have a parent project if you want. Then you can put common properties and even dependencies in the parent pom so you don't need to mention it in every sub project.

@edvin I was wondering if that's the more conventional approach. I may explore that...

@thomasnield That's what I do most of the time. For example if I create a modular JavaEE app, I put the JavaEE dependency as well as compiler settings and even the deployment plugin and it's settings in the parent pom and tell Maven to skip building the parent. Then it will only build the sub modules, but it can use the settings from the parent.

@thomasnield My wife is in New York and found Nitro Coffee at Starbucks! Score 🙂

@edvin must be one of those new Starbucks Reserve stores. They are fancy I heard.

Did she like it?

Not sure yet, just got a snap!

@thomasnield I've been to the one in Seattle... yes, very fancy.

Even if my talk to JavaOne isn't accepted I have to come to try that magical coffee drink.

@edvin Why would you think that you are not accepted for

JavaOne

?

Do you know the time frame when they will decide if you are accepted or not?

@nimakro I think I should hear back from them by the end of June. Did you hear anything yet, @thomasnield?

I suppose @thomasnield is doing a talk about

RxJava

?

@nimakro tornadofx, but at KotlinConf

@carlw Ah nice, I thought @edvin is doing the tfx talk at KotlinConf as well, but I guess I was wrong 😉

I don't think I will have time for KotlinConf due to deadlines at work, but I might show up if I get done in time. I won't be doing a talk there though.

@edvin @nimakro I think July is when we will hear back for JavaOne. I did submit a talk on RxJava but we will see what happens.

I will start investigating how to do the ViewEditor for the plugin tonight. Towards JavaOne I will mostly work on the plugin, the presentation and any bugfixes + small features. Nothing big until after JavaOne.

Committed some small improvements: -

openModal

and

openWindow

returns the Stage -

dialog

builder operates on a StageAwareFieldset so it can close the dialog easier by calling

close()

This makes the

dialog

builder much more useful/easier to close.

The dialog builder was supposed to cut away all the boilerplate involved with creating a windows, adding a form and a fielset etc, so you can just start adding fields to the dialog directly.

Since the function parameter operates on the Fieldset it wasn't easy to access the stage, so closing it was not trivial. Now it's much nicer, and works as you would expect.

@edvin this ViewEditor will be huge if you can get it somewhat close to SceneEditor.

I know a ton of folks who hesitate to write UI code

@thomasnield I think it is absolutely possible to make this a reality. My code for extracting the Psi tree is very messy though, so I might need some expert help underway, but I would like to get the POC out there as soon as possible. This will be a fun task to work on, I'm sure!

I would like the UI editor help the user understand the UI code better, so you can actually learn to use the builders by using the UI tool. Not sure exactly how to do this yet, but I have some ideas.
