Oracle has opened up the JavaFX UI Sandbox repository on OpenJFX as announced on the fxExperience blog. Controls in the OpenJFX repository might eventually be included in a next JavaFX release.

This GitHub project provides simple jar files for some of those sandbox controls.

JavaFX Dialogs are simple dialogs in the style of JOptionPane from Swing.

JavaFX Dialogs 0.0.2

• Fixed bug: Images fail to load when running in webstart. marcojakob#2

JavaFX Dialogs is based on revision rt-9e5ef340d95f of the official Open JFX Sandbox Dialogs. The following changes were made to Dialogs.java:

• Use of a separate css file
• Fixed bug: Input dialog did only return String from text box if enter was used. Buttons did not work.
• Fixed bug: Input dialog with input choices did not return the initially selected object if the combo box was not changed by the user.
• Fixed bug: Message was not displayed in error dialogs.
• Using binding for user input response.
