I have not one, but two JavaFX Kenai projects found
here and
here. First, I have to say Kenai is very useful. It is integrated into NetBeans (my IDE of choice), which means that all I have to do is create a new a project and call the “share it on Kenai” link. The process allows you to change the name of your project, and set the licensing (CDDL, GPL etc). Kenai itself is pretty cool too. It’s not your father’s forge. First off, anytime anyone commits a change a message gets sent out. That may not be earth shattering to you, but if there is more than one person in the code that is huge. I don’t have to guess who changed what. Since my email is tied to my phone, I find out almost immediately! You can do things other places offer like a forum, and mailing list, but the clean execution is nice. It is easy to find on the main page, and any responses in the forum go to my phone! The social networking aspect is something that I want to use. I live in Cincinnati, but I have friends all over the world. If someone helps me out on a project, I can chat with them through Kenai. The price is the best part my application development friends, free. When you sign up to Kenai, you get five free projects slots. I don’t know what happens after five though. I encourage all application development people to put their passion projects on Kenai.
