Hi John, I had the same problem trying to connect to Greg's project. I've used the SimpleEventBus (another google code project) before on a Swing project: http://code.google.com/p/simpleeventbus/ but not in JavaFX.

Cheers,

Mark

There are a couple of forum threads on Event Buses you could read to see what other people have done around this: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10548299 https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10590312

One of them includes a link to a simple JavaFX implementation which Greg Brown created http://code.google.com/p/sjmb/ (unfortunately the link doesn't work for me as I am not authorized to view it). -----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev-bounces at openjdk.java.net [mailto:_ _openjfx-dev-bounces at openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of Mark Fortner Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 11:31 AM To: openjfx-dev at openjdk.java.net Subject: JavaFX Event Bus Recommendations In my current application we're using the standard point2point eventing that comes with JavaFX. To create support for a new type of event we: - Create an EventType class. - Create an Event class - Create an Event Listener interface for it. - Add a mixin that makes it easier to add/remove/notify listeners.

Since there are several developers on the list who make heavy use of the Spring framework, I was wondering if anyone had tried using the Spring Eventing framework http://blog.yohanliyanage.com/2012/09/eventing-with-spring-framework/ as more scaleable approach to adding support for new events? Or if there were any other Event Bus frameworks that the community could recommend for use with JavaFX? Also, are there any plans to more directly support an Event Bus in JavaFX? Cheers, Mark
