I just attended a session at Java One for JFXtras. I was very impressed by the prolific collection of gauges that were contributed to the project by Gerrit Grunwald (@hansolo_). He has developed incredibly intricate controls to simulate traffic lights, odometers, LCD panels, clocks, and just about every type of gauge you can think of. These were all developed with JavaFX and they are all visually stunning.

I think that Grunwald and artists like him will be great ambassadors for Java FX and its capabilities. This is still very young technology, but I’m becoming quite convinced that it is here to stay.
