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:
- Compass - for showing the current viewpoint heading
- Overview Map - for use with a map view or scene view
- 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
