This article was originally posted in Java magazin (in German). In September 2020, JavaFX 15 was released, which makes an ideal occasion for us to philosophize on why JavaFX is more relevant than ever. In this article, we’ll go beyond JavaFX on the desktop, and even beyond JavaFX on mobile. […]
While developing a Gluon Application is easy and fun, building and releasing a native image for every supported platform can be a real time waster. This is of course where build automation tools come into play. But it can still be hard to find the right build platforms and setup […]
A key advantage of JavaFX is that it allows Java developers to write client applications, including a user interface, in a platform-independent way. The same JavaFX code that is written for desktop platforms also works on mobile and embedded devices. In order to achieve this, the JavaFX implementation itself needs […]
JavaFX 15 has been released recently for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Developers using Gluon Substrate can leverage JavaFX 15 already on iOS and Android. In this blog post, we want to explain our plans for JavaFX on embedded, but first, a screenshot from a pre-release version of Gluon Start: Being […]
Earlier this month, JavaFX 15 was released. The release notes were published on Github; a short summary of the highlights was made available on openjfx.io and foojay. In his interview with jaxenter, Johan Vos explains why this release is important: We want to make sure we keep supporting new hardware […]
One of the advantages of Java is the huge ecosystem. Many Java developers, both individuals as well as large companies and anything in between, create and maintain Java libraries and frameworks that complement the Java core platform. Thanks to the cross-platform nature of Java, these libraries are typically very portable. […]
We often hear from users of our software (both our open source friends and our wonderful, supportive customers) that Gluon offers a lot of different software components, and indeed, we provide an end-to-end stack enabling the Java mobile enterprise. We do realise though that it is not always easy to […]
The team at Gluon spend a lot of time focused on streamlining the developer experience for creating mobile and embedded apps in Java. One of our primary areas of focus continues to be on the most popular Java IDEs. Developers use their favourite IDE (NetBeans, IntelliJ, or Eclipse, most commonly) […]
Earlier this week, the GraalVM team released GraalVM 20.2. For Gluon and our customers, this is a major milestone for the project, because it enables developers to use the exact same GraalVM tooling for cloud/server, mobile, and IoT development. This is because our Gluon Substrate tooling uses the GraalVM native-image […]
The Gluon technology stack is the very best way to get Java running on Desktop, Embedded, Android and iOS devices using a single codebase. Gluon Mobile makes creating beautiful and highly functional cross-device mobile applications a breeze, while Gluon CloudLink makes connecting your backend services to your mobile applications something […]
