New Java Technology JAXX - java

Can any one give me detailed information about Java's new technology that is JAXX.
Really I have searched all over the web but not getting exact details that could help me to
write program in Java JAXX ,Compilation & run the same.
It is a new technology ahead of Swing.
Thanks.

It seems Ethan Nicholas' work on Jaxx is not a dead project.
Read here for good introduction: today.java.net/pub/a/today/2006/03/30/introducing-jaxx.html
JavaCSS is found in the JAXX project. JAXX is a xml format style implementation of the swing gui interface. You write an xml document, and a css style document, and are able to bind the inputs and outputs of the GUI to your java implementation engine. The css style document allows for rapid sophisticated gui development. Using the jaxx jar engine, the xml code is converted into java code that runs as rapidly as if deployed in a .java class file.
The project has been continued by a French group of programmers and is now to be found here:
http://www.nuiton.org/projects/jaxx/files
The latest release is JAXX 2.4.2. The latest update was May or June 2011. Whilst in French, the documentation is still comprehensible in English. Just translate.
The original ethan nicholas files of jaxx were last updated on 17-07-2009
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaxx/
Please note: www.jaxxframework.org/wiki/Main_Page is a dead link, the site is discontinued. instead a mirror has been made and can be found at: buix.labs.libre-entreprise.org/original-jaxx/www.jaxxframework.org/wiki/Main_Page.html
This documentation is essential to understand the meaning and purpose of jaxx and its use.

Have you tried this link??
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2006/03/30/introducing-jaxx.html
The resource is pretty good and has a few links at the end for further reading.
Without more detail of your issues, its all I can offer.
Note: I would suggest however that this project doesnt look very active.

Where can I find source code implementations for most javaFX 2 features?

I am currently developing a java application which GUI is based on javaFX. I see that there are a lot of very interesting features that javaFX libraries offer, yet I feel like I'm only scratching the surface in my project.
I have looked up a lot of javaFX classes' javadocs but I would like to know if there's a site that shows basic implementations of each feature, both the source code and the output.
Found a great oracle website that solves my problem: http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/2/samples/Ensemble/index.html#HIGHLIGHTS/H%20T%20M%20L%20Editor
Basically it is a list of samples using most javaFX features, each having both the source code of the implementation and its output.

Enhance images for colorblind people

I'm looking for an easy to use Java library that provides some standard methods for enhancing existing images for colorblind people. I found some browser plugins and web sites that do these enhancements, but I found no corresponding Java library. Is there such a library, and if not, is there at least a good source of information how I can implement this functionality on my own?
I haven't found any color blind specific libraries but I did come across a very interesting document which explains how a Mozilla color blind add on was built. The addon uses the Java Advance Imaging (JAI) library to improve the readability. Below are the links to the document:
http://www.faer.ac.in/motorola/pdf/04_Mozilla%20Firefox%20Extension.pdf
Edit: the document says the code for the extension is open source.

How can I convert Javadoc's output to MediaWiki and place it in SourceForge's wiki?

Background:
I'm a novice to open source and SourceForge. Me and a friend of mine are running our final year computer science project from the web site. The project is Java based, and we are using the Java docs in our project.
Actual question:
I wonder if there is any "good" way to convert the Java docs to the MediaWiki format and sync the pages in the Wiki web app that Source Forge has to offer?
I had the same idea and started developing a doclet for mediawiki-integration with help from the jwbf-library.
Examples, source and documentation is available under: http://wiki.rudin.li/index.php/JWikiDoc
The self-documentation is available there too...
I haven't been able to find if (and how) sourceforge offers web hosting for projects, but I think it does (see http://pmd.sourceforge.net/apidocs/index.html, for example, which is the javadoc of PMD, a Java project hosted at sourceforge).
Anyway, I wouldn't try to convert tha javadoc HTML pages to the wikimedia format. Instead, I would host the javadoc HTML pages somewhere (at sourceforge.net if it's possible, elsewhere if it isn't), and simply link to the javadoc from the wiki.

how to create help system in java

We are developing new web application and we must integrate help in it. Does anyone know any good opensource help application that we can integrate it in our system or is better to develop help center from scratch? We are using java 1.6. Help must be related to articles, forms,...
Thx
Some years ago, I worked with the Eclipse Help System. Eclipse is not necessarily needed to integrate it in your project. Its helpfiles are also based on .html pages. Unfortunatly I dont know if they continue developing it, but at this time it already provided all the aspects you would expect from a help system.
There are a lot examples out there on how to integrate it in your project, but its possible, that maybe there are already better frameworks today.
We use JavaHelp and we are happy with it. We use docbook for document source and XSLT to generate the JavaHelp (and PDF and HTML versions).
JavaHelp is "GNU General Public License - Version 2 with the class path exception", as mentioned at the bottom of https://javahelp.java.net/ Note the link is broken, google finds this copy of the license:
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html
In summary, the Jar can be included in closed source applications.
Sorry, can't add a comment to other people's posts because I don't have enough points.
Try working on a licensed version of Author-it or Adobe RoboHelp. Both tools are very good content management systems allowing users to concurrently work on the same source. You can also publish the content to Word, PDF, HTML, XML, Java Help and Oracle Help outputs.

GUI with xml in java

Is it possible to create a user interface with java and eclipse using a xml file?
As in android
Thx
SwiXml looks like what you need.
Google Web Toolkit will support XML layout from version 2.0 onwards.
Quick Example
This is a web front end however and not swing.
Here's a 2006 article about a few options including SwiXml, which produced one of the few decent results in a 2004 GUI building challenge. There doesn't seem to be many new entries in the field--perhaps people all moved to Web 2.0--except the very promising Apache Pivot with WTKX.
I think as with any non-trivial project, you have to examine the alternatives based on your very specific requirements. I investigated all those options in early 2007 for a company project, but we ended up rolling our own (except using the CSS parser from JAXX) because none completely satisfied our needs.
