This article gives some advice on how to get the most out of your offline workflows with ArcGIS Runtime.

Following the release of version 100.14.0 of the ArcGISRuntime SDK for Java, we are pleased to announce the release of the Java Toolkit v100.14.0 alongside it.

The 100.13.1 patch release of ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for Android, iOS, Java, .NET, and Qt is now available to resolve vulnerabilities identified in the 3rd-party library Expat used by ArcGIS Runtime for XML parsing. 

The 100.11.2 patch release of ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for Android, iOS, Java, .NET, and Qt is now available.

Although we often associate field data collection activities with mobile phones, it is still very common for these data collection exercises to be carried out using laptop computers.  Being able to view your data on a larger screen with a more feature rich user interface is a common requirement for more complex use cases. 

ArcGIS Runtime Local Server SDK 100.10 is now available for download from the ArcGIS Developers site. This is an incremental compatibility release that provides support for geoprocessing and map packages created with ArcGIS Pro 2.7.x.

Today, we are happy to announce the release of ArcGIS Runtime SDK 100.3 (Update 3)! Please have a look at all that is new across all of the SDKs, as well as the specific items in the release notes for Java. 

We are looking to release another update in Fall 2018, Update 4, that will focus on another small collection of enhancements, most notably support for reading KML. Notice that we are announcing the deprecation of Java 8 support after Update 3 (Update 3 is supported through July 2022), and will stop supporting it in Runtime in a near future release. We want your feedback on this plan. Java 8's commercial end of life is January 2019, and so our focus will soon be on supporting the next LTS version of Java, Java 11. If you'd like to comment, please drop us a line here on GeoNet.

Sincerely,

The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java Team

The Java Runtime Development Team is proud to announce the first release of the opensource Java Toolkit for ArcGIS Runtime SDK 100! This toolkit is a significant addition to the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for supporting developers in rapid application development.

The Java Toolkit initially contains 3 JavaFX components at this release to help simplify your app development:

1. Compass - for showing the current viewpoint heading
2. Overview Map - for use with a map view or scene view
3. Scalebar - a ruler with units proportional to the map's current scale.

You'll notice that the toolkit release is not tied to the normal twice-a-year Runtime release cadence. We will release new additional tools to the GitHub repo and Bintray as the development team completes them, so users don't have to wait for the next major release to start programming with them.

To get started right away, go to GitHub - Esri/arcgis-runtime-toolkit-java: Runtime Java SE toolkit and follow the instructions for download and use. 

Please feel free to clone the repo, contribute and create issues. Your ideas and creativity make our products better all the time. Continue to share your feedback and questions here on GeoNet as well.

Happy coding!

Sincerely,

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java Team
