A small, boring screenshot, but imho an important step. I cross compiled the latest openjdk/jdk with javafx base/graphics/controls mods on Linux x86-64 to Linux aarch64 and ran it on a raspberry pi. #java #javafx

In the following "JavaFX In Action" interview, I talked with @credmond about #KafkIO. It's a beautiful user interface for interacting with #Kafka clusters, reading and producing messages, and much more. Above all, it's free and created with #Java and #JavaFX!
