@jachildress Indeed. Can't understand why. But the fact that managers doesn't understand the importance of such things gives little hope that JavaFX will be kept relevant. Progress for "normal" vanilla JavaFX isn't stellar.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

As long as the bug 'TableView doen't commit on focus lost' is not fixed I can't really say that I see a bright future for #JavaFX in general.

Those in charge must realise that a UI framework must be UX friendly by default, because devs will not, in general, fix it in every app.

@aalmiray @tbeernot 11.0 would perhaps be a good way of telling that this requires Java 11, and say that the lib is still in play I guess. I'm fine with that. What do you think Tom?

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@aalmiray @tbeernot No contracts or the like. I would be fine with releasing next version Java 11+.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

When you have an API designer that’s rooted in COBOL:

Objects.requireNonNullElseGet(date, () -> getOtherDate());

Hello @JonathanGiles. I just posted a JavaFX 3D bug in https://t.co/ZmxM0fHX0s. Is that the correct place now? Rev ID: 9051272

[Irene F. Irene @irenefingirene]

Not a religious fanatic but this is me when I see a form using null layout

"You will accept MigLayout"

@mgrev_code

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@golasgil Yes, I don’t mean the longer one should go away since it returns the new value. But sometimes you just want to increment.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

AtomicInteger.incrementAndGet() is ugly. Why no AtomicInteger.inc()?

[Jeanette Winzenburg ([email protected]) @kleopatra_jx]

@mgrev_code @JonathanGiles ahhh ... missed it (coming from bug reporting <g>) Yeah, of course !!! The not-fix is incredible :-((

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@lars_south Stuck with Java for a project. And Java in general works well, but JavaFX doesn’t the the attention it needs.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@kleopatra_jx Look up the thread. Basically TableView commit only on return. @JonathanGiles

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@JonathanGiles The fix will only hurt more and more though, and the fix still NEEDS to come.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@JonathanGiles Ah, didn’t know that. Then why are votes shown?

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

If you want to see the most voted bugs for the JDK. There’s probably a way to filter for “open” as well.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

TableView bug is #6 most voted open bug for the whole JDK. Not important enough to fix for well over another year.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@JonathanGiles The bug was created almost five years ago.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

@JonathanGiles And I think @kleopatra_jx agrees with me.

[Mikael Grev @mgrev_code]

:( IMO there are no excuse for not fixing this in the time JDK 9 has been developed. Users constantly lose edits. https://t.co/6BjSj93Ll6

[Jonathan Giles @JonathanGiles]

@mgrev_code nope, way too late in the game to be making these kinds of risky changes. Needs to be done carefully.
