I haven't been doing much programming for a while, but I have a small project to do in B4j and wanted a dockable interface. I came across this
https://github.com/RobertBColton/DockFX which appears to do what I want.
To test it I recreated the example app (java code here :
https://github.com/RobertBColton/DockFX/blob/master/src/main/java/org/dockfx/demo/DockFX.java )
The B4j project is attached. The library hasn't been updated for a while, but I think I can use it as is, so I thought I would share it in case anybody else wanted to.
Download the zipped jar file (
dockfx-0.1b.zip ) from here :
https://github.com/RobertBColton/DockFX/releases , unzip it and copy to your additional libraries folder.
For documentation, I'm afraid you'll have to read the java code available on github.
It's LGPL3 licensed, make sure it's appropriate for your project.
Requires JavaObject and Reflection libraries, see the Test app code for explanations.
