FlexGanttFX gives you the timeline and drag editing. Quarkus should still decide whether the move sticks.

I built a dock-door planner with overlap checks, optimistic locking, and rollback when the server says no. https://www.the-main-thread.com/p/flexganttfx-quarkus-planner #FlexGanttFX #Quarkus #JavaFX #Java

It's this time of the year for JabRef maintainers, users, and students who participated during #GSOC.

@InAnYan and @Hancong for coming all the way from #Switzerland and the #Netherlands by train (thanks #DB) and having quite an odyssey!

If you have an important issue we need to address, now is the chance to get it fixed in the next hours or days!

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

The JavaFX Links Of The Week took a summer break, so this one actually covers all of August! We hope you had a great summer and are ready for more JavaFX news in the coming weeks!

#JavaFX #LinksOfTheWeek

#GSOC2026 is nearly over, and thanks to Hancong, you can now collbaborate with #Zotero users on the same #LIbreOffice document.
He also worked on various other improvements, like support for footnote citations for #CSL styles and support for tracking changes mode.
You can already try it in the latest dev version and soon in the new beta!

You have PDFs that are just scans and want to search in them?
Thanks to Zeyad who worked on this during #GSOC2026, JabRef now has an #OCR feature. The OCR is done by an external tool, but the results are ingested back in JabRef and are available through the full-text search.
You can try this out in the latest dev version and hopefully soon in the beta.

For more info on the new feature, read the blog post:

Are you doing #SLR aka Systematic Literature Reviews?

Two contributors, Faneesh and Loay, worked this summer on improving JabRef's SLR feature.

The key change is the addition of a new native query mode; e.g., you can now formulate such queries for each catalog, and JabRef will send them directly to the website. And for reproducibility, JabRef will store all sent queries.

Today I realized that I have my own preferred software dev stack that is really, really good:

- #Kotlin
- #JavaFX
- #H2 for embedded db
- #PostgreSQL for server db

No browser required. Not C fast, but definitely fast enough. Runs pretty much anywhere. Great tooling. A library for just about anything. The only real downside is #Gradle, but JetBrains are working on that, too.

#programming

Another milestone reached!
We crossed the 4500 stargazers on #github

And we are close to another milestone, the 6.0-beta. We worked hard and worked on improvements and bug fixes across JabRef. For example, we revamped the entry editor to make it easier to add/remove fields.

Curious? Try out the latest dev version and see for yourself!

Sheetmusic4J 0.0.3 is out! I released 0.0.1 as an open question: does anyone want a native Java(FX) sheet music library? Multiple LinkedIn comments, and some are answered now with support for ABC notation and Guitar Pro. Plus a big round of engraving improvements.

Write-up + video demo:

Sheetmusic4J: a new open source Java(FX) library that reads MusicXML and renders sheet music directly on a JavaFX Canvas, no WebView needed.

I'm building it for MelodyMatrix's upcoming Learn section, where the sheet music follows playback: a moving marker, notes highlighted as they play. A static PDF can't do that, so I built a library that stays interactive from code.

Full story and video:

@frankdelporte built this with his son, which is such a great idea on it's own!

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

MelodyMatrix has a new website: a static, multilingual Hugo site in 8 languages. The already existing Vaadin app still handles licenses, data, API, etc.

Also shipped: MelodyMatrix 1.1.0, with a new audio spectrum view, falling note blocks in the Piano view, and better view/soundfont/audio sync.

Built with Theia IDE and the Claude API, same workflow as used for @lottie4j.

Read all about it in this blog:

Looking at MIDI music is now possible in multiple languages with release 1.1.0 of MelodyMatrix. And the website got totally reworked, is more flashy now, and also available in multiple languages.

Check out https://melodymatrix.rocks/

More updates coming soon...

Closing the visual gap between the official Lottie web player and @lottie4j

I switched the reference renderer, added frame-by-frame diff tests running headless on GitHub Actions, and fixed gradients, mattes, easing, blur, and text rendering. Most animations now score 99.5%+ similarity.

Also a write-up on how systematic AI coding with `@Architect`/`@Coder` sessions made this whole batch of fixes possible.

New JavaFX In Action #27 is live! 🎉

David Gutierrez built JMathAnim, a #JavaFX library and UI for mathematical animations inspired by 3Blue1Brown. Animated LaTeX formulas, fractals, geometric visualizations, direct video export. Built by a mathematician, not a trained developer.

Another view on #JabRef. Most probably the #Java #DesktopApplication with the most #dependencies.

We are very happy for the strong community of maintainers.

If you like our #OpenSource work, please give us a star ⭐ at https://github.com/jabref/jabref/.

And surely a huge thank you to the whole community of Open Source maintainers driving the whole #Java and #JavaFX eco system.

binjr v3.25.0 is now available! 🎉

Aside from being based on the latest #Java25 runtime — making this a somewhat themed release — the main features this time around are:

• Much improved support for the #ZGC garbage collector logs files for the #OpenJDK #JVM.
• Improvements to handling of CSV files, with things like support for comments and better number parsing for uncommon notations.
• Bug fixes and quality of life enhancements.

Full changelog and download links at https://binjr.eu
