oh yeah.

yep. I completely forgot that part

okay. now with your sanity back, you can sleep well 😂

much thanks! and @Kevin I plan on peeping the Kafka stuff again sometime tomorrow

Awesome, thank you 🙂

Heading to JavaZone today :))

Are you going to present?

@abhinay No, my company have a booth there, so I didn't think I'd have time, but now it seems I'm not really needed at the booth. Should have done a talk for sure. Been crazy busy with manufacturing but now things are starting to normalize for me.

Manufacturing?

I thought you were into s/w and cut aluminium as a hobby 😛

Hehe.. yes, that's how it started, but we're getting serious about injection molding. The first machine prototype is about ready now.

We're aiming for 100% automatic keycap manufacturing, including dye sublimation marking and even packaging.

So many different areas that require a lot of thought and work

woah, sounds fun 😉

Is there a website which shows the kind of stuff you are into?

Not really, I put some pictures and videos on my instagram account, but the injection molding machine is top secret.. hehe 🙂 We're doing some things that I don't think anybody else in the business is doing. That's why it takes so much time, we're trying to evolve an outdated process.

Hehe @edvin hobbies always turn into a business 😉

@nimakro I just can't help it.. 🙂

Haha, ok. Is injection molding closer to PBT or ABS?

I am exited to see the result

@nimakro He is like Elon Musk 😄

@abhinay We're going to do both, and look into more environmental friendly materials as well 🙂

Not quite like Elon though.. haha

Testing TornadoFX with JDK 11. I am blocked by a Maven issue - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-1388 😄

Huh.. We could make a copy of the deployment descriptor and remove the profiles to be able to test at least?

Adding profile dependencies directly to the project, building with JDK 11 and using TornadoFX as a dependency works

@Kevin I consulted on a Kafka / Camel job a few years back when I installed a Talend ESB. I think a front-end for this is a great idea. I recommend using the Type Safe Builders instead of FXML. I've written a lot of FXML and the tools like Scene Builder haven't developed into anything like XCode or Visual Studio. While TornadoFX supports FXML as you found out, you hit a wall as you start to nest things which is important for good FXML design. Also, with FXML, you'll miss out on a lot of TornadoFX. I would use the by fxid() only to integrate legacy code (and only temporarily).

I'm going to fork and see how much I can convert in an hour.

Feel free to ignore my repo if you decide to continue with FXML.

Very good points, @carlw
