The powerful "JavaFX" GUI classes together with their support of the javax.scriptframework and the availability of a graphical GUI builder ("SceneBuilder") make it possible for the latest version of BSF4ooRexx (a Rexx-Java bridge) with its RexxScript implementation to use Rexx scripts as GUI handlers out of the box.It becomes therefore also possible to create and control the most complex GUIs for and from Rexx applications, which will be able to run unchanged on Windows, Linux and MacOSX.This article explains the core concepts of JavaFX and how to take advantage of them from ooRexx.Working stand-alone nutshell examples will demonstrate how JavaFX can be controlled by and employed for ooRexx.
