Desktop & Embedded Application JSR
#DataFX
#Desktop Application Framework (JSR 377)
#JavaFX
Today the JSR for Desktop & Embedded Applications has been started and I’m proud to be part of it. The main goal of this JSR is to define a specification for common issues and behaviors that are shared between most desktop applications. This contains the following topics:
- dependency injection via JSR330
- common application structure
- application life-cycle
- localized resources
- resource injection
- localized configuration
- decouple state from UI (binding)
- persistence session state (preferences)
- action management
- component life-cycle
- light-weight event bus
- honor threading concerns (specific to UI toolkit)
- application extensibility via plugins (implies modularity)
Until now there isn’t any line of code but I think that parts of the JSR will be influenced by some Application Frameworks like [DataFX]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link pages/projects/datafx.md %}) or Griffon . In addition Eclipse RCP and Netbeans have solved some of these problems and will be used as inspiration.
The website of the JSR can be found here . If you want to discuss about the JSR you should join the mailing list and star / watch the github repositories .
Oh, and because it’s a JSR it has an official number: JSR 377
