  • onBufferEmpty

You don't have to wait for ( JComponent.ON_CREATED ) before loading the video.
An internal process checks this state for you and loads video when ready

4. Playlist based component template

To create more easily component reader with playlist, document loading,... a new Reader / Document / PlayList abstract implemenation is added.
To build your own component you basically need to :

• extends fvaswing.components.reader.abstract.FvPlayList class to customize your own playlist
• extends fvaswing.components.reader.abstract.FvReader class to customize your own reader
  • reader act as PlayList / Document manager
• extends fvaswing.components.reader.abstract.FvReaderDocument class to define custom document properties and features
• ( optional ) creates your own preloading system using fvaswing.components.reader.loader.FvReaderItemLoader interface

Internal system is automatically build for you :

• Events support
• Playlist managment
• Drag'n drop system
• Keyboard managment
• Menubar
• Standart localisation for builtin components
• and more... ;)

Take a look at

• fvaswing.components.reader.FvPaperReader component
• fvaswing.components.reader.FvVideoPlayer component

5. New menu component

• FvMenu component
  • allow PopupMenu and Menubar menu item creation with Fever Keys accelerator support
  • automatically take accelerator caption to appen menu item label
  • take a look at fvaswing.components.reader.abstract.FvReader for concrete example

5. General updates and news
