Source Code for JavaFX Scoreboard Now Available
By Jim Connors 7 February 2013
For the last few years, many of the JavaFX related blog posts found
here have made reference to all or parts of a Scoreboard application
written in JavaFX. For example, the entry prior to
this contains a video demonstrating how this Scoreboard
application can be run on an embedded device such as a Raspberry Pi and displayed
on an ordinary flat screen TV.
Alongside those posts, some have asked for access to the source
code to this application. I've always felt uncomfortable
releasing the code, not under the delusion that it has any
commercial value, but rather because, let us say, it was not
developed with the strictest software engineering standards in
mind. Having gotten over those insecurities (not really),
I've decided to place it in a java.net
project called javafx-scoreboard.
If you are interested in gaining access to this code you'll need
to do the following:
- Register on https://home.java.net/projects
to get a java.net account. It's free and painless.
If you already have an account, terrific! You can skip this
step.
- Send an email to me at james.connors@oracle.com
asking to be added to the javafx-scoreboard
project. Include your java.net username in the email.
- Once you're added to the project, you'll have download access
to the contents of the project.
For grins, here's document that gives an overview of
the Scoreboard application.
Cheers.
