    Eclipse Plugin for JavaFX 1.2 ( http://javafx.com/docs/gettingstarted/eclipse-plugin/release-notes.jsp )

    What's New in Version 1.2 of the eclipse plugin

    The following list describes the changes that were made to the JavaFX Plugin for Eclipse since the 1.0 release:

  • New JavaFX Project wizard - It is no longer necessary to create a Java project first and then add the JavaFX nature to it in a separate step. Select File > New > Project > JavaFX > JavaFX Project to get the New JavaFX Project wizard to appear. Alternatively, you can click Ctrl-N on the Windows platform or Cmd-N on the Macintosh platform.

  • New Project Templates - Several new project templates of sample applications and building blocks are available in the Template Projects page of the New JavaFX Project wizard. These templates give you a starting point for your JavaFX application development. More templates might be added in a future release.

  • New Editor Features

    • Code completion is now available and accomplished by pressing Ctrl-Space after partially typed keywords, class names, function names, variable names, so on. A pop-up list appears, from which you make your selection to complete your code.

    • Automatic indenting and brace insertion occur according to the JavaFX source structure.

    • Eclipse Outline view support is now available and includes the navigation to source file locations when the user clicks on a node in the Outline view.

    • Continuous feedback of syntax and compilation errors is reported when the user pauses while typing and does not occur only when the file is saved.

    • Block folding allows you to hide or display blocks of code or comments in the source file. The comment block folding is turned on by default.

    • Pop-up API documentation is available when the mouse hovers over an identifier or when an identifier is selected during code completion.

  • Minimal Debugging support that includes step-in, breakpoints, and variable inspection (but not watchpoints) is available only when running the application in the "Run as Application" desktop profile.

Patching a Maven library with your custom class.

Sometimes you use a library that has a bug. Or maybe it doesn’t has a bug but you want to change something. Of course if it is an open source you can get the sources… build them … with your change and so on. However this first takes a lot of time and second you need the sources. What you usually want .. is to just replace one class.. or few classes with something custom… maybe add a line .. or remove a line and so on. Yesterday… I had an issue with jboss-logging. The version I was using was 3.2.0Beta1 and it turns out that using this version and log4j2 2.0 final basically meant that no log is send to log4j2. The reason was a null pointer exception that was catched in jboss logging class called Log4j2Logger. The bug I submitted is here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-107 and it was fixed at the same day. However I will use it as an example since I didn’t knew when this will be fixed.. and I didn’t want to wait till it is fixed. So I was thinking what I want.. to take the j...
