JFXtras Classes and their Objects Explained

  • What are the differences between the following JFXtras Classes?

  • What kinds of Objects do they create?

    1. Agenda, Agenda.Appointment, Agenda.AppointmentGroup

    2. Agenda.AppointmentGroupImpl, Agenda.AppointmentImpl, Agenda.CalendarRange

    3. Agenda.AgendaSkin, AgendaWeekSkin

Thank you all in advance.

PS.

I've been going over the JFTras API but there's not much explanation there. There isn't that much elsewhere on the internet either. I think the JFXtras framework could really grow; it seems really useful, especially the Agenda, plus it is just what I need for my project now.

Solution

  • Short answers:

    • Agenda is a JavaFX calendar component
    • Agenda.Appointment, Agenda.AppointmentGroup are interfaces
    • Agenda.AppointmentGroupImpl, Agenda.AppointmentImpl are default implementations of previously mentioned interfaces
    • Agenda.AgendaSkin, Agenda.WeekSkin are implementations of JavaFX component skins
