JavaFX and Clojure

[prishvin]

Dear friends,

The are talks about using JavaFX with Clojure, but I was unable to
find a single example of such interaction. Have anyone really done the
UI with JavaFX for a Clojure programm?

Thanks in advance

Thats good news, thanks. I've put repositories at watch.

I started using the scenario scenegraph library from JavaFX to create
GUI elements in project Overtone, but it seems development has stopped
on the project (at least in the public repository) and we are weary of
becoming dependent on a dead or closed source library. It's really
too bad, because the 2D scenegraph coupled with OpenGL and shader FX
makes for a really great toolkit for creating custom widgets. Here's
a screenshot containing a curve editor widget written using the
scenegraph:

and the source is here:

http://github.com/overtone/overtone/blob/master/src/overtone/gui/curve.clj

The library does have some bugs and the forum is full of people asking
about the status of the project but nobody is replying. Rather than
creating the JavaFX language they would have done so much more for the
community to just focus on this scenegraph library, animation, etc...

I agree. I'm not interested in the JavaFX language, but am interested
in doing Flash-like user interfaces and animations from Clojure.

Mark,

Can JavaFX do that?

I don't know that much about JavaFX, but my understanding is that it
was born out of Sun's desire to compete with Adobe's Flash/Flex/AIR.
Similarly, Silverlight is Microsoft's effort to compete in that same
domain.
