A task monitor popover

My JavaFX developer life currently has a strong focus on the popover control I wrote and contributed to the ControlsFX project. I now find use cases for it all over the place.

For the last couple of months I had the pleasure of working with JavaFX 8 in order to implement a sophisticated user interface for a planning and scheduling application. One of the features needed was a way to perform "in-place" editing, meaning a way to quickly edit some basic attributes of a user selected object. Following the principle "if you can't innovate, imitate" I took a look at how Apple is doing these kinds of things and surely enough iCal showed me everything I needed to know. iCal - The Role Model In iCal, when the user double clicks [...]
