Been trying to play an mp3 during startup; I've looked at both jmf (only plays video files) and jl1.0 (stalls program during playback); to get past stalling I tried to create a class that extends Thread - when calling the start method the compiler falls over; so tried operation and super.start() on it - no playback. do later just stalls as well so it still runs on the main thread! So can we please get proper multi threading - (either do later must do properly or we must be able to use super methods on a class that extends, e.g. Thread.start();) - so stuff runs on their own thread and not on the main thread; the only solution I can think now is to wrap jl1.0 into a new jar that does this and use that jar from the FX script; as I noticed video playback once started appears to be doing that. Also I find the script language tedious; there's too many invariants and new keywords to the original java syntax making it hard to work with when moving between fx and other code.
This looks more like a feedback on the language rather than on the NetBeans plugins. The only thing we can do is to follow the specification. I add people from the compiler team on cc, leaving this issue opened for some time for tracking purposes.
Since this is not a plugin issue I am closing it.
