QML with QtQuick looks interesting too

@codeslubber that's not mine. I did Wasabi

TornadoFX looks nice!

[12:51]
@edvin: is it yours?

Daniil Vodopian [1:09 PM]
btw @cedric looks like JavaFx has native dialogs all right http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/file-chooser.htm (edited)

Yes it is @voddan simple smile Because of Kotlin we've been able to create a very nice DSL for JavaFX without impeding access to the underlying JavaFX API. Extension functions is a fantastic feature simple smile

Daniil Vodopian [3:39 PM]
cool! Can you elaborate a little on how you use it? Maybe some app screenshots?

[3:40]
the more I google the more goodies I find about JavaFX (edited)

Edvin Syse [3:41 PM]
@debug: wrapping TornadoFX in a native installer combined with FXLauncher removes the need to think about Java for the end user.

[3:41]
@voddan: absolutely! I'm at the cabin with just my phone right now, I'll write a blog post about it and link to it here asap simple smile

afaiu, javafx provides a standard way to pack apps for all platforms

[3:43]
"Self-contained application deployment model. Self-contained application packages have all of the application resources and a private copy of the Java and JavaFX runtimes. They are distributed as native installable packages and provide the same installation and launch experience as native applications for that operating system."

@edvin: how do you create layouts? in xml by hands? TornadoFx doesn't seem to provide ui builder DSL

Edvin Syse [4:09 PM]
@voddan: FXlauncher combines neatly with javapacker and adds autoupdate to your app simple smile TornadoFX support both FXML UIs as well as type safe builders, check out the docs: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/wiki/Documentation

Daniil Vodopian [4:11 PM]
wow, super cool!

Edvin Syse [4:11 PM]
The UI builder DSL is described here: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/wiki/Type-Safe-Builders
