Strategic Consulting

Architecture to Engineering: Expert JavaFX Consulting.

Stop troubleshooting and start building. Partner with the architects and maintainers of OpenJFX to resolve complex performance issues, modernize legacy stacks, and architect future-proof enterprise applications.

Services

Enterprise Engagement Streams.

Three service models designed around how enterprise teams actually work — from a one-time diagnostic to a long-term engineering partnership.

A

Sponsored Framework Fixes

Fix the Framework, Not Just the Workaround.

When a JavaFX defect is blocking your roadmap, sponsoring a targeted fix is often faster and more cost-effective than maintaining a workaround. We scope, implement, and upstream the solution — so the fix lands permanently in the OpenJFX codebase and is backported into every active LTS line.

Business outcome: A permanent upstream fix in OpenJFX, included in the next LTS release — eliminating the defect for your team and for the entire ecosystem.

B

Modernization & Migration

Retire legacy stacks on your terms.

Mission-critical Swing or SWT applications become a maintenance burden over time. We architect a full Modernization Roadmap that preserves your core business logic while moving to JavaFX's hardware-accelerated rendering and modern CSS styling engine.

Business outcome: Reduced technical debt, improved performance, and a UI platform that attracts top-tier developer talent.

C

Architecture & Performance Audits

Deep-dive diagnostics by the authors.

Persistent UI lag, memory leaks, and scaling issues are hard to isolate inside the complex JavaFX/Monocle/Prism stack. Our engineers — the same individuals who write the rendering pipeline — audit your codebase and identify bottlenecks in the scene graph, threading, and memory management.

Business outcome: Enterprise-grade performance tuning for mission-critical scene graphs.

D

Sustained Engineering & T&M

Expert-on-demand, without the headcount.

When you need specialized framework expertise for a specific project phase, we integrate core contributors directly into your workflow. Architectural oversight, custom component development, and code reviews — at the highest level of JavaFX expertise available globally.

Business outcome: Instant access to framework expertise that accelerates time-to-market for your most complex features.

Entry Point

The Strategic Diagnostic.

For teams facing an immediate technical hurdle or seeking validation of a new UI architecture — a focused, high-value session with a Core OpenJFX Maintainer.

What you get

  • 4 hours of focused technical review with a Core OpenJFX Maintainer
  • A written summary report of findings and performance recommendations
  • A prioritized action plan for your engineering team to execute

€499

One-time engagement per company

Request a Diagnostic

The Strategic Diagnostic is a fixed-fee, 4-hour architecture audit for €499. For larger projects, engagements typically scale based on Time & Materials (T&M) requirements — professional services billed hourly or daily for hands-on engineering.

The Stewardship Advantage

You aren't hiring a vendor. You're hiring the source.

As co-leads of the OpenJFX project, our consulting doesn't just work around the framework — it improves it.

Upstream Influence

When we solve a problem in your codebase, we have the authority to fix the underlying issue in the framework itself — benefiting your application and the entire OpenJFX ecosystem simultaneously.

Complements Your LTS Plan

Our consulting is designed to work alongside our LTS Support Plans. While LTS keeps your environment secure and stable, consulting keeps your engineering team fast and unblocked on complex architectural challenges.

How it works

The Engagement Process.

01

Inquiry

Contact our engineering team and share your technical challenge or project scope.

02

Diagnostic

We perform an initial review to determine the depth and technical requirements.

03

Strategic Proposal

A clear Time & Materials (T&M) or project-based estimate tailored to your timeline and budget.

04

Execution

Work directly with the maintainers in your preferred environment.

Training

Enterprise Workshops & Team Onboarding.

Specialized knowledge transfer for teams moving to the OpenJDK-standard native stack or scaling complex JavaFX applications. Delivered by the engineers who wrote the code.

JavaFX Architecture Masterclass

2-day · on-site or remote

A deep-dive into the scene graph, Prism rendering pipeline, CSS engine, and threading model. Designed for senior engineers who need to understand why the framework behaves the way it does — and how to exploit it for maximum performance.

  • Scene graph lifecycle & dirty regions
  • JavaFX thread model & background tasks
  • CSS engine internals & custom theming
  • Prism pipeline & hardware acceleration

Migration Bootcamp

3-day · on-site preferred

A hands-on programme for teams moving from Swing or SWT to JavaFX. We work directly with your codebase — identifying high-risk components, establishing migration patterns, and leaving your team with a validated, repeatable playbook.

  • Swing/SWT architectural mapping to JavaFX
  • Component-by-component migration patterns
  • Testing strategies during incremental migration
  • CI/CD pipeline adaptation for dual-stack builds

Native Stack Readiness

1-day · remote

Prepares engineering teams for the OpenJDK-standard native deployment path — the successor to legacy native stacks currently being staged in collaboration with the OpenJDK community. Covers the build pipeline, reflection configuration, and production deployment patterns.

  • OpenJDK native image build pipeline
  • Reflection & resource configuration
  • Platform-specific deployment packaging
  • CI integration & release automation
