Announcing: Scenic View 8.0.0!
by Jonathan Giles | Sep 29, 2014 | Scenic View | 15 comments
It’s been a really long time in the making, but I’m pleased to announce the final release of Scenic View 8.0.0. This release is the culmination of a huge amount of work, and whilst not perfect, is a good starting point for further discussion and refinement. The other big aspect of this release is the fact that Scenic View is now open source – yay! π
Given the large number of developer preview releases there should be no surprises as to what to expect in this release – it is just bug fixing at this point. However, now that 8.0.0 is out I hope that we can accelerate the development of the project by getting more people into the code base and helping to refine, improve, and simplify it. Please, take it for a spin and be sure to file bugs over at the new bug tracker.
Finally, here’s a sneak peak of what might be coming up in a future release of Scenic View:
Go forth and download! I know the release isn’t wart-free, but I need your help to diagnose and resolve the issues. Thanks!

The bug tracker is still private. Great work though!
ReplyThanks – fixed now.
ReplyGreat work!
ReplyThe 3D view is a very nice feature. However I would prefer a “cell shading” like rendering instead of those boxes. Just my 2 cent…
ReplyJimbo – can you clarify what you mean?
ReplyI guess he’s talking about the post-process effect. All edges are emphasized with a black border, which makes it look cartoony. It makes for a better readability, especially when objects of similar color overlap from the pov.

ReplyI can’t get it to work with FXCanvas (SWT-JavaFX integration). The ScenicView can pop up and show the tree of nodes, but all details are missing and in console it prints “No JavaFX window found” every second. Is there source code published somewhere so I can fix the issue myself?
ReplyHello – For some reason when I run scenic view as an executable jar, it no longer finds the app I am running from eclipse fx. Is there a way to reset it? The only thing I did was change my JDK from 64 bit to 32 bit to build an exe for testing on a client machine, which I then set back… It’ s just odd?
ReplyI have had no luck getting Scenic View to discover my running app. I am using Eclipse FX – Luna.
The properties for the Scenic View are:

jdkPath=C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_40
The build path for my app is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40
So from what I can tell it’s all lined up OK.
Any thoughts?
ReplyHi.When i open program it always shows “Scanning for JavaFX applications” on the left side and nothing else.I choosed jdk path correctly that i know.How can i use it? Could anyone help please
ReplySame issue as Natsu; it continuously shows “Scanning for JavaFX applications” but can’t find my app, running in a 64-bit Java 8 JVM.
ReplyA little more detail: Scenic View debug output indicates it has found 4 JavaFX applications running; and in my app’s console output, I see
ReplyLaunching agent server on:7567:7558:2892:trueSo it appears to have discovered my app and connected. Yet it still shows the “Scanning for JavaFX applications” animation.
I have the same symptoms as you DaveK, running version 8.6.0
ReplyScenicView 8.0.0 jar won’t launch on JDK 8 under OS X:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/javafx/Utils
Neither double-clicking the jar, nor running with java -jar works.
Replysame as Natsu and DaveK
it always shows "Scanning for JavaFX applications" nothing else.
looks like some java version problem
