I'm considering either Google Code or Kenai for hosting my widgets.

Google, of course, would be nice since I already got an account and their mailing list/forum is good. That's what I've mostly been in contact with as a user.

Kenai on the other hand seems to have nice integration with NetBeans... at least that's what Sun is saying.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I have didn't try Google, but Kenai is nice, and integration with NetBeans is true. You only need to write login and password in NetBeans.   It have subversion, mercurial....   issue tracking systems, forums, wiki and all i one place. Try it and if it suks try google code ;)

I have heard good things about Kenai.  Google code has been serving us well, and adding features to keep up with the competition (like new Mercurial support).

Another option would be to open up the WidgetFX repository for folks to commit their open-source widgets to.  It would be less overhead for folks, and if someone really wanted to make improvements to the core WidgetFX codebase that would be great as well.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info both of you.

I must say that having open source widgets as part of the WidgetFX repository sounds interesting.

Consider it done...

Feel free to check in your widget under trunk/widgets (you already have commit access, Pär):
http://code.google.com/p/widgetfx/source/browse/#svn/trunk/widgets

This is also an open invitation for anyone else who wants to open-source your widget and co-host it with the WidgetFX project on Google Code, let me know and I will set you up with committer access.

Cheers,

Great!

I've been planning to break out the ImageEditor in ScreenshotFX to be able to reuse it for a clipboard widget. I guess there is no project dependency in the repository right? So I'll just commit the jar file for ImageEditor as a lib to the widget?

Next... even if it's not a widget, should I commit the ImageEditor project to the repository under the widgets directory?

Pär,

Your ImageEditor component seems like something that might be a better fit for the JFXtras project.  I have taken a lot of the other interesting reusable stuff from WidgetFX and pushed it that direction so it gets more community adoption.

If that works for you, join up on the JFXtras mailing lists and drop an introductory e-mail on the dev list.  I have already set you up with commit access to the repository:
http://code.google.com/p/jfxtras/

What you should probably do short term is package up a jar for your widgets to include.  Once it makes it into a JFXtras build, then that automatically gets included with WidgetFX so you can drop the dependency altogether.

Cheers,
--Steve

Sure, that sounds good.

I guess that's a good enough reason for me not to postpone getting into the control+skin stuff as well as the unit tests :)
