Hi all. Is there a recommended docking library to use w/ tornadofx? Seems like there’s a couple for JavaFX. (I’m working on porting my desktop diagramming app to kotlin/tornadofx). Thanks for any thoughts. 🙂

Nope, just whatever you would use for a normal JavaFX app.

Ok thanks @Ruckus

@Ruckus @edvin Just curious: do you think it’s ok to start building a new kotlin-based desktop app using JavaFX as the UI layer given JavaFX’s uncertain future? Any alternative approaches you think better?

I would say definitely. Personally, I think separating JavaFX could be one of the best things to happen to it. I also don't think it's future is uncertain. OpenJFX has been around for ages, and it's already pretty much the primary caretaker of the platform. It's just getting formalized.
As far as alternatives on the, there's not much else on the JVM.
Swing is in the same boat

Cool. That’s really good to hear. Thanks.
