Using the Paint Application to Achieve Deeper Integration of JavaFX in NetBeans RCP [25083]
Getting the JavaFX Bar Chart to Reflect Changes in Sales Properties
It is possible (and relatively easy), writes Geertjan Wielenga, to have changes in sales properties be reflected in the javafx.scene.chart.BarChart. Wielenga began with the Paint Application, added JavaFX code and a node hierarchy to obtain the desired result. The simplicity of this exercise, he contends, suggests just how well JavaFX can be made to fit into what he terms the "real world of existing Java desktop applications." He advises against dismissing Swing, which he terms unnecessary.

NetBeans at JavaOne 2011: A Compliment [24788]
A Prominent Part of the JDK Roadmap
The most impressive aspect of JavaOne 2011 blogger Geertjian Wielenga was the incorporation of NetBeans in the JDK Roadmap. His blog includes a slide from Oracle's Yoshio Terada that was presented to the Japanese JUG. Of the JDK Roadmap Wielenga writes, "I love the fact that the JDK roadmap is so tightly coupled with NetBeans, of course. As someone working on the NetBeans project for quite a few years, ... with NetBeans so prominently positioned within [the roadmap, this] is the greatest official compliment and clearest statement of confidence the NetBeans Team has thus far attained, ever."
