Ask HN: What do you want to see added to / fixed in JavaFX?

3 pointsjava-man7 comments

Imagine you have a magic wand that makes it possible to add a feature (or features) to JavaFX, or to fix a long standing bug. What would that be?

Proper SVG support

Could you be more specific please?

Do you mean something the Batik library could do?

I just want to be able to load SVG files. Right now you either have to add every single path + color into a CSS file or use some kind of library.

thank you

No comments... Is everyone happy or nobody cares?

I've only used java for web applications really. How popular is JavaFX?

It's widely popular in narrow circles.

Primarily for developing cross-platform desktop (or mobile, see Gluon, https://gluonhq.com/) applications.
