  • easyfxml to moe.tristan.easyfxml
  • easyfxml-junit to moe.tristan.easyfxml.junit

• Rename package moe.tristan.easyfxml.test to moe.tristan.easyfxml.junit

  • This was done to properly match reverse-DNS based module name

Add a convenience method in Properties.

The weird version bump is due to a pretty annoying issue with half-released versions using maven lingering in the git ref history. Had to skip them.

Major release introducing both proper Spring Boot auto-configuration and the experimental JUnit DSL.

Also added first usage sample and revamped documentation.

Add generic specialization for the nodeLoadResult in FxmlLoadResult which was always resolving to Node rather than the generic parameter NODE

This release, despite including almost no functionnality, introduces fairly large architectural changes to the project to be able to have full module-path support. It also now requires Java 11 at least to be used (you do not have to use the module-path for it though)

Slight summary :

• Add documentation to warn against CompletableFuture potential issues. ( #23 )
• Simplify usage of custom @ComponentScan.Filter in Spring Boot configuration
• Add full JPMS/Jigsaw module path support

Mainly fixes #23 which was a pretty egregious asynchronicity issue.

Fix some slight maven issues and properly dockerize project for test run in CI.

Essentially adding support for Java 11, expected via OpenJDK 11 and OpenJFX.

Also removes all AWT support and non-Spring support.

Small fix for customized Spring Boot meta-annotation using projects. This manually feeds the correct subclass of Application to the Spring context builder.

• Deprecate SystemTraySupport in favor of using https://git.dorkbox.com/dorkbox/SystemTray .
• Change BrowserSupport back-end from AWT-based to JavaFX-based. No API change except package name. Just reimport it and all is good.
• Bump Spring Boot version
• Make mouse click listener for tray icons an Optional in TrayIcon due to inconsistent behavior across multiple systems (notable some Linux distributions as well as macOS not reacting to left-click correctly)
• Make assertj test-scoped to pollute classpath a little less

Please note that this is the last version with java 8 support. Next version will require Java 11

You should always bundle your runtime with JavaFX applications anyway so this should not matter as you are not forced to make use of the module system if you cannot easily migrate to it. EasyFXML will although fully support it for optimization reasons.

Slight corrections to component list cell. Disable visiblity and management of graphical display if representing a null or empty element.

• Add convenience methods to SystemTrayIcon for mouse listening
• Automatically resize the tray icon image upon system tray registration

Slight improvements to FxmlLoadResult :

• You can now apply some post-processing workflow in a builder-style syntax to the loaded element's node and controller
• Do a load success check before applying the said post-processing

Also small documentation fix on the homepage/README.

Add support for detecting end of ListView scrolling and reacting to it.

Override ComponentListViewFxmlController#onScrolledToEndOfListView and it will be called when scrolling to the end of the listview this controller is bound to.

Make ComponentCellFxmlController#selectedProperty(BooleanExpression) default-implemented with no instruction so components that do not care can just ignore it.

Public API

• Change attributes cellNode and cellController of class ComponentListCell<T> from private to protected so you can access them should it be needed (e.g. in the case of a ListView that is not filled, so that you can hide the graphic property since ListCell#updateItem will never get called).

Internals

• Set Javadoc HTML version to HTML5 (removes a warning when building with JDKs for Java 9 and newer).

Public API

• Trade correctness for simplicity of use of the component list view base where we only require the context passed to the superclass to implement ApplicationContext rather than ConfigurableApplicationContext since the documentation of this second one explicitly says that in practice any context implementation will be implementing it's configurable counterpart as well.

Internals

• Fix a small issue where badly scoped beans warning text would print regardless or actual existence of badly scoped beans.

• Add explicit maven configuration for default test resources folder copying.

Public API

• Add boilerplate configuration for custom-cell ListViews where cells are their own FxmlNode with all the trickery of JavaFX's Cell model already taken care of.
• Fix some unnecessarily strong typing in EasyFXML
• Add a few convenience methods in Stages for stages async eventing composition in lambda calls made via Try
• Added a few convenience methods for Button on-click event reaction
• Add a convenience method for auto-hiding a node and resizing its parent accordingly
• Add a convenience method for safe get of a node from a load result.
• Add a convenience method for exception to error pane lambda calls with Try#getOrElseGet calls.

Internals

• Bump Spring Boot version

• Allow fxml files used in unit tests to reside in src/test/java/**

• Use a FxmlNode-implementing enum for ComponentListView testing

• Simplify FxmlLoadResult testing

• Implement a sample ComponentListView using Component{Cell, ListCell}

• Implement a simple ComponentCell and its ComponentListCell counterpart

• Small syntax/formatting enhancements

Improvements :

• General code quality
• Better parametric types naming ( 17e6bbf039316c0cc38cfa597f626def707831e0 and aa3cd29b2b50aa23a55397ae57d3700e327dd34b )
• AbstractInstanceManager now requires usage of Selector type-wrapper as selector type for prototype instances and has better return types ( 6f9344a8b560ee6dd9a94c880c78597f19f6cd41 )
• Remove exceptions being thrown in utility classes' private constructors ( e08fdc62a76d3b77fccca7c1eb19c8cb84a17259 )

Bugfixes :

• Boolean conditional issue ( 1bf92221e482655ab1f9350c2414f348be4bfcd1 )
• AbstractInstanceManager was incompatible with wrapper-types like Selector ( 6f9344a8b560ee6dd9a94c880c78597f19f6cd41 )

Better return types for loading through FxmlLoadResult. Better selectory management for AbstractInstanceManager implementations through the new Selector class. Memory footprint should be better thanks to WeakReferences.

Better general handing of the general concept of what a UiManager is. Bump to Spring Boot 2.0.2.

• Slight API changes to BrowserSupport (went from void return value to Try<Void> so you can track exception causes)
• Moved some packages around and added some boilerplate JavaFX/Spring glue code together. See new README when it's up.

A few config issues were polished and most raw exception throws were specialized.

This release improves upon the existing IO utility methods so you always know what path was used to try to load a given resource. This is especially helpful when trying to deal with random load issues where you would only get mute NullPointerExceptions before.

Strongly improved the experience of using stylesheets logic after the previous release's changes.

Paths -> Resources to not clash with java.util.Paths Resources -> Method renaming and a new method to get a resource's external form

• Use Spring Boot 2.0
• Compatible with Java 9
• Some dependencies updates

Radical change to the stylesheet model:

• FxmlNode doesn't have a getStylesheet() method anymore as we can't auto-apply the stylesheet to elements but only to scenes

Major

Add a base class for FxmlStylesheet implementations (CachedFxmlStylesheet) and a sample implementation of it for file-based loading (CachedFileBasedFxmlStylesheet)

Minor

Renaming a few util classes following the JDK's style:

• StageUtils -> Stages
• FxAsyncUtils -> FxAsync
• PathUtils -> Paths

Update Spring Boot from version 1.5.8.RELEASE to 1.5.9.RELEASE (latest).
