Hi Uwe,
not really. I’m new to JavaFX and not familiar with all concepts needed for a full port.
The org.eclipse.graphiti.ui plugin (which contains the GEF related parts) consists of about 20,000 lines of code (real code lines without comments and blank
lines). Not sure if all of that would also be needed in JavaFX, but at least this might give a hint.
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
thanks for your reply and the reference to your Github repo. I'll check out your prototype.
Could you give a rough estimate of the amount of work required to implement a full JavaFX-based renderer? I'm relatively new to Graphiti and not too familiar with its inner workings. I have heard that the SWT renderer consists of about 25,000 lines of code.
Cheers,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,
well maybe a small update?
I also saw JavaFX gaining momentum und was able to play around a little, but due to lack of time did not get far.
What I was able to start with is a small prototype of a rendering implementation for Graphiti in JavaFX. Currently it is able to render some simple diagrams (e.g. Chess example) in a view, but there is no interaction whatsoever. If you like to have a look I
have it checked in to GitHub:
https://github.com/mwenz/graphitiFX
But still very basic stuff. Anyhow, if you are interested, any help here would be highly appreciated?
Regards,
Michael

Hi,
more than 19 months ago, there was a short discussion about a JavaFX-based renderer on this mailing list, see
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/graphiti-dev/msg00079.html. The conclusion was that such a renderer would be a great thing to have, but there was no capacity for implementing it at the time.
Are there any updates on this issue?
I'm asking because JavaFX has gained a lot of momentum lately and I see many people adopt it. e(fx)clipse has done a good job in the Eclipse world in this regard.
Thanks,
Uwe
