Status of actions in this repository

Status of actions in the fork of Erwin Morrhey (Gluon)

Based on

• The Maven library Resistor calculator as described on "Resistor color codes and calculations as a Java Maven library". and "Calculating resistor value with a JavaFX application".
• Existing JavaFX project of my book "Getting started with Java on Raspberry Pi", which contains a JavaFX application for desktop only: "Example application: visualize the Raspberry Pi pins with JavaFX"
• Starter application "Gluon Mobile - Multi View Project" with the Gluon plugin in IntelliJ IDEA as described on "Starting a JavaFX Project with Gluon Tools" (foojay.io).

Gluon Mobile Applications are Java applications written in JavaFX. These applications ensure that developers can create high performance, great looking, and cloud connected mobile apps from a single Java code base.
