    A few days ago I wrote an article which gave a more complete example of editable table cells in JavaFX 2.0. In that article I promised another article discussing how to make generic editable tables cells since the first article just expected everything to be a string. I’m fairly happy with this solution to the…

    I recently installed Hyper-V on a spare machine to have a bit of a play with it and to find out if it would be suitable for a little virtualization I would like to do. Everything was going really well up to the point where I wanted to manage the server. For the life of…

    I’ve recently found myself having to do a fair bit of system administration work which makes an interesting change from the usual software development. My current project is to put together a beefy server which will run a few databases and other web applications. Ideally I’d like to run these on separate machines (virtual or…

    MikroTik release updated versions of RouterOS on a fairly regular basis and it is normally a good idea to update your router when they become available. Upgrading is a fairly painless process but I found the instructions given on the website were a little out of date.

    I recently upgraded from RouterOS V5.13 to V5.16. The interface is a bit nice to look at (especially in the web configuration tool) and there is now a quick setup window in WinBox. The only downside of the upgrade is that all of a sudden my Internet connection stopped working.

    The JavaFX 2 documentation is generally very well written but I found the discussion of the TableView component to be slightly lacking. It demonstrates the construction of a basic table with multi-level column headers and it shows the most basic example of editing. Any real application will want a much more complete handling of cell…

    One of the applications I maintain currently only runs against Microsoft SQL Server. For the most part this hasn’t proven to be that much of a problem as everyone who uses the application also runs MS SQL. The problem comes when I want to deploy and test it on one of the company servers because…

    For a while now I’ve been meaning to get Hudson installed and running but what with one thing and another I’ve always put it off (I put it down to being a lone developer). What with everything else going on things like Hudson get pushed to the back of the queue all the time even…

    The final part of the Maven JavaFX build is getting NetBeans to correctly run the application. This, it turns out, is more difficult than I expected. This discussion covers a the problems quite well and is worth a read. I will admit up front that the solution I give here is not pretty, in fact…

    This (hopefully) final instalment of this series of articles on building JavaFX applications with Maven will refine what was done in the previous article. The previous article got us to the point where we were able to build a stand alone JavaFX application this article aims to do that with flare and produce roughly the…

    The previous part of this article covered how to set up a Maven project for JavaFX 2.0 and how to provide the required dependency. This part of the article will show you how to build a runnable jar file.

    I decided to have a bit of a play with JavaFX 2.0 the other day as we have a project coming up that may be a good candidate for using it. My first impression of JavaFX 2.0 is generally very positive, it’s a lot like Swing with the sharp edges knocked off. I’d like to…
