4 Current State 4

5 Where are the Problems? > Development of modular JavaFX applications is painful Developer problems End user problems > As a result, not many JavaFX/WebStart applications use modules 5

6 Developer Problems > Using JavaFX and other jars in the classpath Locate libraries, versions, transitive deps, classpath hell > Module distribution and sharing No easy way to share modules via a searchable medium > Application distribution to end-users Signing dependencies, fiddle with URLs, reusing dependencies > IDE-specific developlemnt Not portable, no automated build integration 6

7 End User Problems > Keep downloading the same jars for every application No reuse of modules, even if signed by the same vendor > Slow download and update times Coarse grained updates and no module reuse 7

8 Sample Application - TwitterFX > Module reuse 8

9 Demo > Current developerʼs experience 9

11 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes 10

12 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies 10

13 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars 10

14 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to VCS 10

15 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to VCS Add jars to your classpath (hell) 10

16 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to VCS Add jars to your classpath (hell) Edit jar references and/or the codebase for each new deployment 10

17 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to VCS Add jars to your classpath (hell) Edit jar references and/or the codebase for each new deployment Sign and re-sign all jar with each update 10

18 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to VCS Add jars to your classpath (hell) Edit jar references and/or the codebase for each new deployment Create an uber-jar Sign and re-sign all jar with each update 10

19 Present Development Process Configure JavaFX project in IDE dialog boxes Find jars and their dependencies Download jars Add jars to your classpath (hell) Add jars to VCS Tweak output JNLP file Edit jar references and/or the codebase for each new deployment Create an uber-jar Sign and re-sign all jar with each update 10

20 Agenda > The current state > What we wish to achieve > Artifact repository managers overview > Overview of the process > What do they need to do? Developer Repository Manager End User > Conclusion 11

21 What Do We Want to Achieve? > Make life easy for developers Easy to share JavaFX applications and libraries Simple dependency management, module resolution and updates Standard process for distributing JavaFX modules IDE independence > Make life easy for end users Faster download and auto-update times 12

22 Agenda > The current state > What we wish to achieve > Artifact repository managers overview > Overview of the process > What do they need to do? Developer Repository Manager End User > Conclusion 13

23 About Artifact Repository Managers > A proxy and resolver for artifacts (modules) > Avoid hitting public remote repositories Inefficient, unreliable, content quality, nonsecured... > Deploy, manage and share local artifacts > Full control over artifacts resolution and delivery 14

24 What is Artifactory? > Advanced OS Artifacts Repository Manager > Maven, Ivy+Ant, Buildr, Gradle,... Java WebStart :) > First real UI driven repository manager (2006) Upload through UI, indexed searches > Downloadable OSS + add-ons > Many exciting new features coming in the 2.1 release! 15

25 The Developerʼs Experience > Simple artifacts management through Ajax Web UI 16

27 Our Mix of Tools JavaFX Plugin What do you get? 18

28 Tools Overview > Maven JavaFX plugin Build and deploy dynamic JavaFX/WebStart applications > Artifactory Deploy and serve JNLP files and dependencies > WebStart Virtual Repository Transform JNLP file and sign the jars automatically > WebStart Client Consume the deployed dynamic WebStart app 19

29 Maven Plugins > JavaFX/JNLP plugin Compiles JavaFX sources Uses standard Maven resources for classpath resolution Creates Web Start JNLP files - standalone and/or browser Customizable metadata and JNLP template > Available on 20

30 Simple process and Productive Environment Build, Test, Deploy Search Retrieve, Deploy JavaFX Developer Use End Users 21
