A collection of tools and demos for JavaFX.

This is a very simple example of a video player which uses the new WritableImage of JavaFX 13 with support for Buffers to improve performance. The idea is to let the well known VLC media player, which can play almost everything you throw at it, directly render into this buffer and use the image directly in an ImageView without any explicit rendering into a canvas or such thing. Only this brings the desired performance boost.
What I have not considered yet is any kind of synchronization. I think an extension of the PixelBuffer to support some kind of double-buffering would be the right thing to do.
In order to run the code, a recent version of the VLC player (3.0.x+) must be installed in a standard location on the system.
This should work on macOS and Linux but there currently seem to be problems with the VLC code itself on Windows. Tested on macOS 10.14.6 and Linux.
This software is based on the VLCJ project. Other dependencies can be found in the pom.xml.

A simple wrapper arround an AWT image which utilizes the new WritableImage of JavaFX 13 with support for Buffers. Internally a JavaFX image is created which directly uses the same memory as the AWT image. So if you render into the AWT image with a AWT graphics context, the result will immediately appear on the screen.
There are two examples for AWTImage. The first one just does some drawing and demonstrates the update behaviour and the second one utilizes AWTImage to build a little JavaFX PDF viewer based on Apache PDFBox.

An example to show how some native renderer can be integrated seemlessly into JavaFX. It uses the new WritableImage of JavaFX 13 with support for Buffers to improve performance.
For more details see: NativeRenderingCanvas
Attention 1: The event-handling in this example currently only works with JDK 11 and JFX 13+. See JDK-8236971.
Attention 2: Building the native part on anything else but macOS is completely untested. Building the native part on Windows requires MinGW.
