Drombler FX: JavaFX 8 support

I recently released Drombler FX v0.4. Drombler FX is a modular Rich Client Platform for JavaFX based on OSGi and Maven (POM-first).

With this release Drombler FX as well as Drombler ACP and Drombler Commons support and require JavaFX 8/ Java SE 8.

You can find the complete list of fixed issues here: http://issues.drombler.org/milestone/0.4

There's a Getting Started page which explains how to create, build and run a Drombler FX sample application with a few simple steps.

Drombler FX uses Apache Felix as its OSGi container by default.
As an application framework it makes sure JavaFX and OSGi will get started properly and it provides the main window.


The following table provides you an overview of the different Drombler components, links to the modules, which are available from Maven Central, and links to the Javadocs.

You can use the Drombler Forum for questions and discussions.

  2. Hi Serhat,
    all Drombler FX artifacts are available directly from Maven Central. Have a look at the "Modules" links in the post to get a list of available artifacts, their descriptions, Maven coordinates and links to the JARs.
    Just reference the dependencies in your POM and everything should be downloaded automatically.
    The easiest way to start is to follow the GettingStarted-page: http://wiki.drombler.org/GettingStarted
