Preview Release: JavaFX Composer Plugin

By: tinu, 15 Dec 2009

The JavaFX Composer is a visual layout tool for creating JavaFX applications. With the Composer, JavaFX developers can create GUIs with standard JavaFX controls and use states to define application flow, or connect the UI with data sources such as Web Services, databases and local file systems, to list a few functionalities.

The JavaFX Composer is a preview release and is available for NetBeans IDE 6.8 as a plugin from the NetBeans Update Center. (From the NetBeans IDE, go to Tools --> Plugins --> Available Plugins --> JavaFX.)

To learn more about the Composer and for a quick-start tutorial and other documentation about using the tool, visit the JavaFX Composer wiki page.

The Composer team is looking for feedback. Give the tool a try and send your comments, questions and issues to the team at users at javafx dot netbeans dot org.
