Just a quick follow-up on the popup editor, which has been renamed to “PopOver”. The current plan is to release it with the ControlsFX release 8.0.3 in early December. Jonathan and Eugene made me work hard for the last couple of days and I think the improvements to the control were worth it. It is more generic / flexible than before and it looks more elegant (the code, too).
The biggest change is probably the move away from always using an accordion control inside the PopOver and instead using a more generic approach where any node can be set as the content.

Detached PopOver
I hope to be able to release the accordion support with the 8.0.4 release of ControlsFX in January (maybe in the form of a utiliy class with a fluent API).

The second big change is support for different arrow locations. An arrow can now be placed in 3 different locations on each side. And before you ask: no, the PopupWindow autofix feature does not automatically fix the arrow location if there is not enough space for the PopOver at the requested location. I hope this can also be done in 8.0.4.
Hi Dirk,
great work, I can’t wait to try out.
