JavaFX Examples (Portable GUI Programming Using JavaFX)

Here a few links (as of 2016-12-06) for additional JavaFX information and JavaFX resources:

• Marco Jakob's Tutorials on JavaFX (Rexx Solution in fxml_03 below)
• Interesting (Additional) Open Source JavaFX Controls
• JavaFX Scene Builder (Open Source)

Hint: if you wish to look at the ooRexx code with syntax highlighting, then you can use the free and open-source editor "[g]vim", which is available for practically all platforms and can be downloaded from its homepage at http://www.vim.org/.

fxml_01/ <directory>

A simple cross-platform (running unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX!) Rexx application taking advantage of an FXML document to declare and run a portable JavaFX GUI. The standalone version of this Rexx application can be found in javafx_01.rex.

fxml_02/ <directory>

A cross-platform (running unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX!) Rexx application taking advantage of an FXML document to declare and run a portable JavaFX GUI, demonstrating automatic attribute fetching and automatic multilingual support (English, German texts), displaying the content of the javax.script.ScriptScope's Bindings on each press of the push button. The standalone version of this Rexx application can be found in javafx_02.rex.

fxml_03/ <directory>

An application implementing a full-fledged, cross-platform (running unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX!) address book application in less than 1000 lines of code (LOC) in Rexx.

javafx_01.rex

This is the standalone, cross-platform (running unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX!) JavaFX-Rexx program of fxml_01/ that sets up the GUI, the event handler and starts the JavaFX application. All formatting and positioning needs to be done in code. An alternative is to use a FXML JavaFX definition file for formatting and positioning purposes. This program corresponds to the application in "fxml_01/", except for the used colors.

javafx_02.rex

This is a standalone, cross-platform (running unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX!) JavaFX-Rexx program of fxml_02/ that sets up the GUI, the event handler and starts the JavaFX application. All formatting and positioning needs to be done in code. An alternative is to use a FXML JavaFX definition file for formatting and positioning purposes. This program corresponds to the application in "fxml_02/" and uses its language translation properties files for some of the labels.

javafx_property_binding.rex

A Rexx program demonstrating the use of JavaFX properties.
