JavaFX version at Maven Central

[jede]

Hi,

would it be possible to provide a JavaFX version of the latest and upcoming JFreeChart releases at Maven Central? This would make usage of JFreeChart in out JavaFX projects much easier.
Maybe the JavaFX version is not as stable as the Swing version. But for the project it would be great when more people use it and provide feedback, fixes, ...

Anyway, thanks for this great library and for starting the JavaFX port!

Bye, Stefan

As a workaround I've build a JavaFX version of JFreeChart 1.0.19 with the included Ant script. When displaying an Chart in the ChartViewer I get tons of CSS warnings such as:

Code: Select all

I'm using JDK 1.8.0_25 on Mac OS X 10.10.
What's the problem here - is the latest version of JavaFX not supported?

I don't know what causes this...I will try to take a closer look when I have time.

I will add an item to my TODO list for a Maven build for the JavaFX version.

Sounds great - thanks!

Update on the CSS warnings reported in above comments:
They will be printed when using the ChartViewer inside an Dialog window, I'm currently using the backport of the Dialog API from https://bitbucket.org/controlsfx/openjfx-dialogs.
When using the ChartViewer in a simple Stage window, no warnings will be shown.

[jede]

The CSS warnings are probably caused by a JavaFX bug which will be fixed in 8u40 ( https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-38640 ).

Today I've tested my application with JavaFX 8u40-b22. There are no more CSS warnings, the problem has been fixed there.
The performance of the JavaFX ChartViewer is also much better now. The resizing of the diagram window is very slow, with JavaFX 8u40 it works with the expected speed.

So, everything OK from JFreeChart side.
