Sodding Could not determine java version from '9.0.1'.

Nice post, @carlw 🙂

@jkbbwr Then I would guess you're running an old Gradle version 🙂

its the intellij version and I can't get around it

not completely great it seems.

@edvin unfortunately not in tornadofx...maybe one of the weekly contributions could port this over...planning on a "snap to" function for my next post

the illegal access stuff doesnt matter

sdkman works on linux

and intelij can use whatever skdman version of gradle you want

What is sdkman

http://sdkman.io/ it is like nvm rvm and such

for the java ecosystem

I might install that sometime

it can be handy

I use fish

Sucks

bummer

@jkbbwr the latest mint (18.3) has decent hidpi support

I dont mint

@ron how's the new amd holding up amid meltdown/spectre?

@carlw it has no problems whatsoever

ryzen is looking better these days

I have no complaints its fast and does the job well

How do you get a button in a form to have focus when the form opens?

whenDocked { requestFocus()}

doesn't seem to work. My goal is so the person can accept the defaults presented by hitting space or enter without first having to navigate out of the form fields.

have you tried flagging it as the default button?

you can tag buttons as cancel or default and they're handled with standard key commands. at one point this was space

setting it as default button works

they are handled and placed os specific if you put them in a buttonbar

just

isDefaultButton = true

(in a tfx builder)
