Draggable nodes in XTreeView

I recently played around with XTreeView the tree component of JFXtras. It’s a nice component with a clean boundary between control and view so that was quiet easy to add a draggable behaviour to the nodes. By the way I’m really grateful to Rakesh Menon for his clear post about Drag and Drop in JavaFX.

The main idea is to wrap a renderer into a draggable wrapper that will encapsulate the created nodes into a SwingDragSource.

Checkout the demo: 

You will find the source and the eclipse project in the attached zip.

JFXtras available in Sonatype OSS Repository

We have recently worked on a mavenization process of the JFXtras project to make it easily usable in a maven project. The project now has a pom and the current version (0.7-SNAPSHOT) is hosted at the Sonatype OSS repository.

To use JFXtras in your maven project, make sure that your maven environment has access to the Sonatype repository and just add the following dependencies to your pom:

EDIT: artifacts names have changed, they are now prepended with “jfxtras-“
