@edvin Oky good to know, should I create an issue so we can discuss more about the feature at github, I would be glad to help out as soon as I have some more time. The ability to update the jvm would be a game changer for us at our company since we are looking for alternative to java web start 😉 and we need to be able to have control to update the jvm for our customers despite the jvm the have installed.

Oh and by the way I am playing with kdbc might send some PR's soon 😉

@nimakro Sweet! I'd like to use Kotlin Native to create the stubs if possible. Haven't look at the current status in a while though.

@edvin Mhm that sounds like an interesting idea, I think I have to read more about the stubs and javapackager stuff, to be any help 😉 Any links to good documentation?

@nimakro are you having any problems with webstart?

...works well with tornadofx

@carlw No not for tornadofx but with other programs we are distributing to our customers 😉

i like it b/c you can just ship around a .sh and a .bat that calls javaws. then host your app on a CDN for fast worldwide delivery

What are the server side requirements for the FXLauncher?

@zealous Actually, there are none 🙂 You can even deploy the application on a file url. In case of an HTTP url, only the ability to do HTTP GET is needed. It also supports BASIC auth for the downloaded resources, but in my opinion security is better handled in the app/app API.

@nimakro Let's look at this some more after Java One 🙂

@edvin I thought you need something along the line of webdav for uploading.

@zealous Upload is done either with scp or just file copy, or really any other way you can transfer the files so they end up on the target webserver or file server.

@edvin I am trying to show a what's new Dialog with FXLauncher but I get a null point exception the log contains no useful info... This is what I have done so fare: - Added whatsnew.html to src/main/resources

- Added to my pom

And added

<argument>--whats-new=${app.whatsNewFilename}</argument> to the configuration for the create-manifest goal

The variable is configured as

<app.whatsNewFilename>whatsnew.html</app.whatsNewFilename>

I haven't actually used this myself, it was @ron who created it for his use case. I can have a look later today 🙂

@edvin No worries I can check in the code my self I just thought you might would have a quick answer 😉

@nimakro Sorry 🙂 hehe

@edvin No Problem. Quick question, do you hava a pom example for fxlauncher and tfx using kotlin and java mixed?

@nimakro No I don't but that should make any difference. Did you look at the fxldemo and fxldemo-gradle projects?

@edvin Ah oky yeah the fxldemo works fine but I just figures out that I have a different problem with my pom so never mind 😉

I have a question concerning the blockIncrement of slider. In Java FX the type is Double (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/Slider.html#blockIncrementProperty) but in tornadofx it is Dimension, where I can select a Linear Unit. But when you have a slider you normally just want to set an int or double value but no Linear Unit? Do I have a wrong understanding?

And the other question is concerning the model I want to boudn to the slider. It wants to have a Double, but since I only need small integer, I want to bind a integer instead of a double. Can I someway cast my property from Integer to Double so that I can pass an Integer Property to slider?

Do I need to add this probably to the model? val ratingDouble = doubleBinding(rating) { rating.value.toDouble() }

Since slider needs Double and no property I can also use slider(competenceModel.rating.value.toDouble()). Is there no such property binding such as for a label?

@dr.fornax I will check later tonight 🙂

@edvin uploaded a file:

Attire for JavaOne 🙂
