Java desktop links of the week, February 7

Sorry for the delayed post this week, I've been a little bogged down in other work recently. But anywho, here we go for another week - enjoy! :-)

JavaFX

• Richard Bair was busy this week, putting up three blog posts over at FX Experience. The first post talks about his investigation into restricting input on a TextField control. This then leads on to a MoneyField control that he has made available, and finally a blog post about how he slightly simplified the MoneyField by adding more DefaultProperty annotations to UI control properties.
• Phil Race has blogged about the LCD text support in JavaFX 2.1.
• Michael Heinrichs has blogged about creating read-only properties in JavaFX.
• Thom Schindl announced the release of e(fx)clipse 0.0.12.
• Daniel Zwolenski has published an article on OTN titled "Building Java EE Applications in JavaFX 2.0".
• Adam Bien has blogged about setting the JavaFX 2.0 runtime at startup (and solving "Unable to read ../rt/" problem).
• Jim Weaver put up a number of quotes from developers with their reactions to the recent release of the developer preview of JavaFX 2.1 for Linux.
• For those in the St Louis area, Weiqi Gao is giving another JavaFX 2.0 talk covering the core concepts.
• Speaking of Weiqi, he has also blogged about how to get started running JavaFX 2.1 on a 64-bit Ubuntu install.
• Mark Anro Silva has created a 3D neon globe which can be started via webstart (although I can't see the source code).
• Dustin Marx has blogged about creating a JavaFX application that can solve quadratic equations.
• William Antonio has blogged about a JavaFX application that he has created that consumes the GateIn navigation REST API.
• Altu? Uzunali has created a waterfall display (aka a spectrogram).

Swing

• SwingX 1.6.3 was released this week.

That's all for another week. Catch you again in a weeks time.
