First contact with project nile.

hey!
I've written a tiny javafx app which is a [screen ruler|http://www.superduper.org/personal/blog/wordpress/?p=111] which required quite some lines of code.
To shorten it i made my first contact with project nile and i'd like to sum up my experience.
First of all - i watched a few screencasts and it looked really promosing. I instantly installed and exported some graphics. So far so easy, but as soon as I wanted to use the .fx file that was created i got tons of "class .... " not found and "package loader.fxd...." not found. I wasted at least half and hour to figure out that i have to add the javafx-fx.jar file (how come this isn't mentioned in any screencast? or did just I miss this?). Ultimately I figured stuff out, but have a few things i don't like a lot and i think are worth mentioning.
#1 why does it create so many png files? wouldn't it be possible to just inline the binary data?
#2 why do i need that javafx-fxd.... jar file? i really don't want to include a 500k library on a 1k source project.
#3 why multiple files at all? i'd prefer if <my-export-name>.fx was the only file created and needed.
ok, back to netbeans now...
have a great day!

Hello,
thanks for your feedback and sorry about installation problems. Regarding your questions:
#1 why does it create so many png files? wouldn't it be possible to just inline the binary data?The Nile release 1.0 which is planned for end of October will do exactly what you are asking for. Export will create one file, a kind of archive, that will contain the scene description and binary assets like fonts and images.
#2 why do i need that javafx-fxd.... jar file? i really don't want to include a 500k library on a 1k source project.Agreed. We try to make it smaller and eventually the Nile runtime should become part of JavaFX SDK.
#3 why multiple files at all? i'd prefer if <my-export-name>.fx was the only file created and needed.There is a significant distinction between the files <my-export-name>.fxd and <my-export-name>UI.fx. The fxd file contains graphic content and can be used alone as it is. It is preferred for a static content. However if the graphic is "live" and some interaction with code is required then the fx file is useful. We call it UI stub and it serves as an connection link between JavaFX script application logic and 'significant' visual elements. This stub also hides the complexity of the purely visual graphic elements and exposes only the nodes that are used from application logic to create dynamic behavior.
Best regards,
Pavel

    i already have an apple ID, but it seems that the original ID is locked to the first owner.

  • Contact with same first name as previous, overwrit...

    PC Suite 6.84. When I create a new contact with the same first name as an existing contact in PC Suite, and then I save it to the phone, the new contact info overwrites the old!
    For example:
    first name: Airlines
    last name: United
    So that entry is there.
    But then if I add:
    first name: Airlines
    last name: US Air
    The United Airlines entry is not longer there, only the US Air entry.
    I want "Airlines" as all the first names because then they should all be grouped together in the contacts list (sorted by 1st name).

    What phone model do you have ?

  • My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

    Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

  • HT201441 I cannot contact with the first owner what I can do ? please answer.

    Active my iphone and I canoot contact with the first owner . Please anyone help.

    Welcome to the Apple community Mustafa.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • Unable to contact with support... No any way...

    Hi all,
    I have a very stupid situation... and it seems that this is hopeless.
    I have my iPad since from several years and yesterday I had to buy (first time) an application on App Store.
    So unfortunately to proceed I had to give a response to 2 security questions an my responses are not correct.
    I did not have before the alternative e-mail address on my AppleID so I do not see the link to reset my security questions...
    All in all I have to call the Apple Support. And this is the moment were the story begins... My situation is like this, I am from Poland, I have bought the iPad in Poland, now I am located in France (I work there currently). I do not speak french language on acceptable level to contact with french support by phone. No problem with English language for me. So I have decided to call the polish support - the easiest solution - but I am not able to do it, polish support number is special (00800 4411875) and I am not able to call it while being abroad....
    So I have decided to choose the option that Apple Support will cal me, why not? Genial! But... I need to confirm the country to which the support will make the call... I cannot choose France because I will be switched to french support, also I cannot select Poland and give there my french mobile number...
    So my last possibility was to contact with English support, but the story is exactly the same like with polish support...
    Anyone can explain me what I can do in such situation? Because it is tragic, I know that Apple would like to be very user-friendly so everybody will be able to call their support center even if they do not understand the internet page, but for the moment, for my situation it is just a pain in...
    After this I really loose my will to buy anything from Apple (I totally forgot about this app which originally I was going to buy...). Thanks...

    I have referred your post to the hosts in the hope they will advise, perhaps directly.   Hope it resolves your problem.

    I recently purchased FaceTime from the Application Store. After approx. ±10 meg, the application resets and starts downloading again. I have tried to download it at different times of the day but with the same results. I have been in contact with Apple support and have tried different options with the same result. I cannot download a new Version because in my Purchased List the applicaiton (FaceTime) is still there, and because I have halted it it tells me to resume. I can’t, because the same thing is going to happen. I have tried all the various troubleshooting tips supplied by my ISP and also Apple Support with no luck. I am currently working on a IMac OS 10.6.7. Has anybody got any ideas? Any suggestion would help. Thanks

    As I said, I tried everything what the manual says, but hard luck. I have taken an appointment for today, lets see what happens.
    Also there is no activity on unit when I use the remote. The unit is stuck on the first page itself where we have to choose the language. The unit seems to be fine to me but the real problem is remote does'nt have activity. The IR is not responding while pressing any of the button.
    Good luck with your appointment.
    Not much consolation but even new products can have issues and might need a trip to a store to return/replace.
    The reason i asked about the LED on the AppleTV is that occasionally it thinks it's paired with a specific remote and ignores others - the unpair keypress I described is quick and free.

  • IPhone 6 Plus 128 Availability Updates (will be updating as I continue making contact with Verizon and Apple retailers)

    I figure I would compile a list of things I have heard from Verizon reps as well as Apple retailers for anyone curious
    First Contact:  Verizon Wireless Preorder 9/12 for 6+ 128 Space Gray made at 12:17am PST at full-retail.  Small chat with representative about placing order.  "Deliver By: 9/19" throughout ordering and on confirmation page.  Email confirmation 1:52am, with delivery date changed to 10/7.
    Second Contact:  Online Chat with Verizon rep about order.  Verizon rep confirms nothing more than what the email stated, and what the "Status Update" on the VZW Website provides (an infinite "your order is processing, no shipping date available").
    Third Contact:  Direct message to Verizon rep.  Also completely useless.  Does not provide any more information regards shipment.
    Fourth Contact:  Call up Verizon Customer Service.  Woman reiterates shipment date, but also adds that my order processed at 1:52am - the same time my email confirmation was sent.  So 2+2 means that whenever confirmation emails are received is when your order is processed.
    Fifth Contact:   Call up Verizon Customer Service again.  Ask more about my shipment and why it would be that others who placed their orders for the exact copy of my phone after me, received tracking numbers before me.  Was told that it depends on which warehouse your order was sent to.  Some warehouses have more of certain phones than others.  Ask what the random number for my order location translated to geographically (city, state) and was told that as part of a non-disclosure agreement that information cannot be released.
    Sixth Contact:  Call up local Verizon Wireless Retail Location.  Representative states that 6+ 128 models will not be available in store at all for 9/19.  Suggests that perhaps Best Buy will have the phone in stock on release day.
    Seventh Contact: Call up Best Buy and manager was kind enough to explain that pre-orders made through Best Buy are actually pulling from the inventory from the store.  Also explains that 6+ models are not even able to be pre-ordered because of lack of supply via Apple and therefore will not be in store locations at all.
    Eighth Contact:  Call up different Verizon Wireless Retail Location.  Representative explains that in-store locations will not know which models will be available in-store until the night before, because the shipments have not been made yet, much less fulfilled.
    Ninth Contact: Call up ANOTHER Vzw Retail Location.  This was the most helpful representative of all.  This rep explains that no matter WHAT kind of shipment the corporate stores receive, these phones are reserved for people who upgrade/add a new line/etc, and will not be sold to people who opt for the month-to-month option for full retail.
    Tenth Contact:  Call up another Best Buy location.  Rep doesn't know much of anything.
    Eleventh Contact:  Call up Apple Store located inside of a mall (because I cannot feasibly wait in a line overnight; I have twin 18mos old sons, so an in-mall location seems like my best option).  Rep does not know what mall procedure will be as far as lining up.  Does not know quantity of phones coming, but does know that EVERY model will be available for purchase at first-come-first-serve.
    Twelfth Contact:  Call up another in-mall Apple Store location.  No lines inside of mall (duh), and nearest entrance door will be opened prior to mall hours at 8am.  All models will be available for purchase in store in unknown quantities.  Check out process takes 15-20 minutes, including transfer of all information from one phone to the new phone.  If I do not want to wait in line in store, I can call the store location and make my order over the phone at 8am and pick it up in store later that day with my confirmation number and ID.
    So that's that then.  I plan to try and get my hands on a phone this Friday by going to an indoor Apple location, and if I am successful I will be cancelling my Verizon order regardless if I get a tracking number by then or not (although I doubt I will).  I know that most VZW Reps are responding from prompts, but you think that the prompts would provide the same response for the same questions, or even that Verizon would have come out with an official statement regards this whole mess.  I guess that's asking for too much, though.
    What's everybody else's plans and experiences?  Inspired or made aware of anything from my experiences?

    Yeah, that's a possibility but after the responses from the Apple locations and the guarantee that my model will be available for purchase at FCFS, I don't think I'll have much to do with Verizon locations regards it all.
    I think the reason you're receiving yours on Friday is you are east coast whereas I am west coast.  I think there was some truth to the Fifth Contact's response and that it also depends on the warehouse the order is coming from.  My warehouse is more than likely different than yours and probably has a larger demand/smaller supply than your warehouse.
    I live in Southern California, and my county alone has 3.1M people.  The four surrounding counties have 10M people, 2.3M people, 2.1M people, and 3.2M people.  iPhone is king out here as far as phones, so I'm chalking it up to supply/demand in my warehouse, and that my order was processed much later than many others in my area.
    I'll check back on my order tomorrow and Thursday, but unless I have a notice that shows it going out for delivery on Friday by being at my local FedEx facility, I'm going to an Apple store, getting a phone there, and cancelling my order with Verizon.

  • How can I sync my Iphone contacts with laptop running Windows 7

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 and would like to sync my Iphoneand ipad contacts with Windows Live, which is not possible. Microsoft have told me to download a WOA app for each device and subscribe to Office 365. Then use an exchange program within Outlook. Is there another simpler and cheaper method. The Office 365 sub is $99pa. Can I use icloud?

    Hello there, Darrelk.
    The following Knowledge Base article has information for syncing from your iOS devices:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Specifically:
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
    Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

    i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts  with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
    Cheers for your Help!

    The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
    If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
    If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

  • Not able to start any outside contact with iChat : please help !

    Hello there,
    I will try to cut my long story short : I am from Belgium and presently in Kosovo for a several months mission over there. I was really looking forward to use Apple iChat to stay in contact with my family and kids back home .... but it's not working !
    I know there are other solutions eventually but anyway I'd like to understand what's the problem with iChat.
    I came first with my Powerbook G4 1,5 Ghz + 1,2 Gb RAM + IceCam + OS 10.4 and "old" iChat on it : not working at all : it would keep saying "not enough bandwidth" for every sort of connection attempts (video, audio only) only text chat was working. I had read that there were lots of problems with this version, so I purchased LEOPARD to have the newest version available and upgraded my internet connection here in Kosovo to a 8 Mbps one !
    Unfortunately I crashed my computer with the upgrade process ... anyway, the "advantage" is that I start now from a "clean" copy of Leopard and iChat .... but it isn't working neither ?
    Now the message is slightly different though.
    You see it's "trying" to get through (takes a little more time to issue the error message ....?) and it states now "connection closed because didn't get any answer for 10 seconds" (I translate the message because my system is in french in fact).
    I have copied the details of the error message but can you tell me which part is important, not to paste 3 pages of unuseful text to this post maybe ?
    It would be very kind of you if you could help me figure this out because I cannot think of a reason why "we" shouldn't get this to work, right ?
    Furthermore, it would help a poor Mac user to stay in touch with his family "back home" !
    Thanks in advance.

    This is a "paste" of one of the error logs : they basically all say the same thing I guess.
    If needed (following a suggestion for example) I could try to come in contact with the support helpline of the company (although it's Kosovo ....) to try to "fix" or answer any technical question you should have without any other mean for an answer than "ask" ....
    By the way, my wife "at the other side" in Belgium is behind my PowerMac G5 dualcore with same configuration (Leopard, latest iChat etc.).
    Here is the abstract :

  • How do I stop Google from attempting to sync contacts with my iMac?

    Hey folks, i'm new to Mac and keep getting this annoying sync notice that if I allow Google Contants to sync it will change pretty much all my contacts.  First off, I'm not really sure what contacts it's trying to sync with. Is it trying to sync with my iCloud contacts? i don't think i have any contact info saved on my hard disk.  Second, i have searched the discussion threads about this topic and see posts saying i need to go to Address Book > Preferences > and uncheck Google Sync....but the only Address Book i am aware of is the app labeled "Contacts" which holds everything from my iCloud account.  Is Address Book a separate app/database?

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works
