Fast & Dirty Java GUI building on 2017

Java Gui of Choice (2017) So first of all, yes, Javafx is still a thing. You want to build a gui for your Java application? You don't have many options, AWT, SWT and Swing are dead, JavaFX is the official way to go for a Java developer. Yes, you can have an HTML gui for your java application, and that is a perfectly valid choice, which should be accomplished by using Vaadin or Apache Wicket, but those options force you to deploy your gui with a web server which could be uncomfortable for many a developer. So JavaFX it is; Now, you can go around the web and learn how to use all of those plugins and wizards which will hide the simple mechanism of building a javafx gui or you can continue reading this post  :-) JavaFX Installation/Configuration The first thing you will want to do is to download JavaFX SceneBuilder, the SceneBuilder is Oracle's official app for creating nice FXML files using simple drag and drop techniques.

Sync / Backup files

Backing up my pictures/music/software etc is an issue i think about from time to time but never got to implement a method of doing ... till now. Motivation ? Obviously, this is very important, so even if a disaster occurs, I will still be able to retrieve my data. Where should I backup to ? To the cloud! - if I will backup to somewhere else it can also be destroyed in the case of disaster. But also to an external harddrive as some of the data is huge, and too big for the cloud (unless I will pay a monthly fee). Backup / Sync method Define which data will be backed up to the cloud (documents, source code etc) - these folders will be copied to the cloud directory What should be backed up to an external drive (pictures, music, videos etc) - these folders will be copied to the external drive (scheduled to one which is always connected, and manually to another which will be connected only for this purpose once a month then will be put back to the attic) Use a S

Crawling a site with Java

I wanted to crawl a site using Java. I didn't want to invent the wheel so I wanted to find a good java library which crawls sites. On top of my head I know of several libraries, so I thought of checking them first. I began with Solr & Lucene and continued with Nutch. After doing some reading I understood that the above libraries are out of my scope and although they will do the job, they are an absolute overkill. Why ? Well, I guess I need to begin with my actual requirements Before the requirement I suggest reading the following post, just to understand the basics (I won't use that actual code, but it does help to understand the concept and to sharpen the requirements): How to build a crawler in Java Requirements Crawls a full site Minimum amount of logic so it won't go to the same URL more than once etc Multithreading Good API so it will be easy to work with, I need a simple API to define the number of threads, site root, fil
