Hi

[Shiv Kumar Ganesh]

Hi All,

I am Shiv from India and am an IT engineer at Tata Consultancy
Services. I am an Open Source and Semantic Web Enthusiast. I love
coding in Java and am grateful to be the part of this community. I
came to know about this community from Stephen Chin who was present in
the Java User Group Chennai's meetup yesterday. I excited to know that
he is continuing with the JavaFX Script and thought of contributing in
project Visage. I would be glad to be a contributor.

Regards,
Shiv Kumar Ganesh.

Hi Shiv,

Welcome to our group!

The first page you might be interested in would be the following:
http://code.google.com/p/visage/wiki/JavaFXAPIContributing

where you will find the list of classes already adapted and in blank the ones still waiting for a contributor, like you.

As you might have noticed in the last few messages from this group, Steve suggested we use the Length type in the Visage aPI where the Java API is using mere float for positions and lengths. I am still in the process of adapting to this pattern the classes I have adapted so far.

Feel free to ask for help with any doubt that might arise.

Regards,

Alain

Hello Alain,

Glad to meet you online. I was wondering about few questions that I had, I would like to have a bit of clarification since

I am entirely new to this group.

1. I did clone the project and now am trying to build it. Shall I use Netbeans 7.1. I saw a wiki of how to set up

   the project on Netbeans IDE. Should I follow that and will that do or any other IDE should be taken?

2. I have an experience with JavaFX Script in the past and I saw most of the code in it so is it advisable to

   Go through Visage Language Guide once before starting? As in the document updated by Steve about Visage?

I would like to know any other thing that is necessary before starting. Meanwhile I am going through different code

snippets.

Hope you understand me, I have just started and am dedicated to contribute as much as possible.

It's good to have you aboard, Shiv!

Thanks,

[Shiv Kumar Ganesh]

Thanks a lot James. :) Would appreciate your guidance :)

[James Weaver]

I thought that Stephen Chin flew all the way to India to give that to you ;-)

Shiv,

Seriously though, Stephen Chin and Eric Smith would be great resources for guidance.

Thanks,

Jim Weaver

Jim,

Thanks a lot for pointing me towards them. I have already seen Steve during our Meetup at the JUG Chennai. He is awesome.

Wish to see you sometime soon too. :) I will try to keep up the work as a contributor in this community.Thanks for welcoming

me out here.

Welcome Shiv,

Re: NetBeans...

I would definately recommend using NetBeans for Visage. Setup is very
simple and (as long as you follow directions for import.zip)
everything is there.

The code was created with the NetBeans 6.x family, but for the SDK
code, the 7.x family is working fine for me.

I haven't fully tested against 7,1beta with JavaFX 2.0 turned on yet,
but i don't think that would cause many problems.

I am currently rewriting the NetBeans plug-in (the current one has
some bugs following the renaming in Aug/Sep).

I tried out using Netbeans 7.1 as per the Wiki, it worked fine for me. I am eagerly waiting for the plugin though :).

Thanks a lot.

Shiv Kumar Ganesh.
