I was able to create a .exe somehow, but it errored out saying it couldn't find the application class when I tried running it

@dr.fornax Great! Actually good to get some more information out there, searchable for others to find 🙂

@jelloranger You need to use javapackager to create an installable artifact. You could also go all out and opt for FXLauncher, which uses javapackager under the covers.

Thanks @edvin , I'll give those a read! 🙂

@jelloranger If you end up with FXLauncher, post any questions here and we'll help you out 🙂 Start with a minimal project or fork one of the demo projects to get a feel for it before you integrate your own code perhaps.

@edvin I am trying to created a nested tree table but I am unable to show the data inside the table.

@ajithprasaad Use the builders to create your columns.

They allow you to just specify the property that should represent the value.

And don't store them in field values or local values unless you need to.

Could you send me a small snippet of how it can be done?

@redrield This video might help with your shutdown sequence. It's using a Java Phaser to hold off a shutdown until everything is ready.

I've found a way to do it, but it could be nicer.

Ive got a static nullable variable in the view where it's taking place, and I assign that the value of the suspend call before I await()

And in App#stop I call cancel() if the job is still computing

I'm up for a better way to do that if anyone has any.

@redrield @carlw another approach would be to use

Observable.merge()

and wait for all the merged events to finish using RxJavaFX.

I have a dialog with two text fields and, in the typical case, I can populate the second text field from the contents of the first. I was looking for a way of detecting when the first text field was either changed, or it lost focus so I could pre-populate the second one. How might I go about that. Specifically I have the following in my dialog creation:

I would like to 'listen' for changes to

url

or when it loses focus and then set the contents of

authName

Well, I kept trying stuff and finally came up with this:

Not sure if that is the best way or not, but it works.

@thomasnield What events would I be merging? And would it still require this hacky feeling mutable static?

@redrield I'll look at your example tomorrow, but RxJava and RxJavaFX will support any events, doesn't matter what they are. RxJavaFX should be able to take any number of event sources and zip them.

I regressed today as a Linux user, and sold my System76 Galago Pro for the new Surface. The Galago Pro is great but battery on Linux laptops are just hard to get performance out of. I am still keeping the System76 Kudu for serious work, but I'm taking the Surface for going ultramobile especially since it has a 14 hour battery. Maybe Windows won't be so bad since @edvin has been getting along with it.

@melston I made an example for you
