Is it possible to include a JPedal PDF Viewer in a HBox JavaFX Application, with other stuffs added to the following slots of the HBox? Any tips?
I am unsure if it's possible to put JPedal inside JavaFX - there's no official mechanism for putting Swing inside JavaFX, but you may be able to find some hacks online. Perhaps this functionality will arrive in JavaFX8 or 9.
Regardless, it's a possibility that in the future JPedal will include a JavaFXDisplay if there's a demand for it and it's commercially viable.
We do lots of playing with JavaFX - we currently have an online converter to demo PDF to JavaFX and PDF to FXML functionality: http://www.idrsolutions.com/online-pdf-to-javafx-fxml-converter/
Recently we announced that we have swapped out Java3D for JavaFX in the PageFlow mode inside JPedal's Viewer: http://blog.idrsolutions.com/2013/01/announcing-the-pageflow-pdf-viewer-mode-in-javafx/
There's a video of it in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auwNrIPt0Tc
And as already pointed out, there's section on the website with some extra bits like JPedalFX which is a lightweight JavaFX PDF viewer. There's also PDF to JavaFX functionality in the plugins for Eclipse, NetBeans and IDEA.
We hope to update the JavaFX section in the near future with what we have been working on recently too: http://www.idrsolutions.com/javafx/
JPedal already supports JavaFX, pretty cool actually.

i am using ArcGIS Library for a geospatial project. the sample codes available in their website was fully in java Swing. i need to do path animation in it using javaFX. is it possible.? if yes, can any one suggest me a sample code to create a map.?
Sample code for creating a map in Swing
I don't think you can pull this off using JavaFX, since JMap extends JComponent and is a class provided by the ArcGIS. Unless, they release a version which is supporting JavaFX, things are not very good.
The least you can do is to embed this JMap into a JavaFX application using SwingNode. An example on how to achieve this can be found here.
I am not sure what you want to achieve, when you say "path animation in it", but if it has something that can be achieved without using the internal components of JMap, you can do it !
JMap is a Swing component. JavaFX 1 was built on Swing and supported wrapping a Swing component. JavaFX 2 does not use Swing and does not support wrapping a Swing component. It is anticipated that the upcoming JavaFX 8 will support using Swing components in a JavaFX application.
UPDATE: ArcGIS Runtime is getting support for JavaFX! See http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/09/17/arcgis-runtime-plays-at-10-2-4/ for details.
You have some options:
Go back to JavaFX 1 (not a good idea IMO)
Turn it around and use JavaFX components in a Swing application (see http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/swing/swing-fx-interoperability.htm)
Wait for Java 8, or go get the developer preview of Java 8.
Wait for ArcGIS Runtime 10.2.4 (to be released any day now), which will have beta support for JavaFX.

Maybe a bit late but... ArcGIS Runtime for Java's latest beta (Quartz) offers much more JavaFX support.

I'm using JavaFX integrated HTMLEditor. All the functions that it has are fine but I need to have also the function of inserting an image inside the HTML text.
Do you know some source which I could use? Or some other HTML (WYSIWYG) editor that could be used inside JavaFX and it has this functionality ?
I can program this functionality into the existing JavaFX HTMLEditor by myself, but I prefer to ask before I start doing something :)
Thank you very much for your answers ;)
I'd advise just customizing the existing JavaFX HTMLEditor, if it does most things you need with the exception of adding images and the look and feel of it is basically ok for you.
I created a code sample to assist in some JavaFX HTMLEditor customization tasks.
Another option you could toy with for a very basic html editor is a WebView with contenteditable set to true. Though I haven't tried it with images - maybe it will work ok.
If the above options don't work for you there there are heaps of javascript based editors out there to choose from.
I looking for an UI plugin library for Android like what JGoodies is to Swing.
It should be configurable with or without the library existing (meaning, if the library exists, it renders the UI component specific to library, otherwise use the default android ui)
regards,
kiwi
Although there is none that I know like JGoodies, I think the following two links will be of help for you:

Android: how can i improve the look of an app?
I think responses so far are missing the point of JGoodies (and where I am presuming the question isn't about look-and-feel). It's predominantly not a look-and-feel library, it's a mechanism for automatically firing relevant events throughout a GUI, based on other changes on the same screen.
I'm thinking about writing a simple UI designer in Java. I'm just playing with ideas at the moment to see if it is feasible.
It would be good to have something like this as all of our UIs are generated from XML. Just wondering if anyone has tried anything like this before. I know there will be a lot of effort in doing something like this.
Does anyone know of any 3rd party products that already do something like this?
If not then at a simple level, it will have drag and drop support for any component that can be positioned on a panel. Then extra bits will be added. Are there any good samples on the net for this?
Cheers
Dated back to 2005, this has an overview of Java UI Builders:

Here is a page on how to use the Eclipse Visual Editor:

Which GUI technology are you using? Swing? NetBeans has a very good drag-and-drop Swing GUI editor. For Eclipse there are several plugins.
If you want to see other projects in which a Swing GUI is generated from XML config files, there are different libraries that do this.
Eclipse 4.0 Developer Preview was just released with an xml based toolkit called XWT. It can be styled with CSS and has a GUI builder. This is a developer preview and there will be some changes over the next year as it progresses to release 4.1, but it is useable right now and the community support is really good.
Please forgive if this question has been asked numerous times. I recently installed Eclipse Classic v3.6.0 which I need to create a little utility using Java. In Visual Studio I can create a new form then from the Toolbar I can drag and drop components (Button, TextBox, ListBox, etc) onto the Form. Is this possible using Eclipse?
I have tried various (see below for a few examples) combination using both Stack Overflow and Google, but nothing that I have seen that discusses this topic. I have read that there are plug-ins for Eclipse and was thinking there might be a plug-in for this type of behavior? I am not sure if this feature is supported out of the box. Any help is greatly appreciated.
"eclipse form drag drop"
"using eclipse drag and drop form creation"
I have also found the following links that show examples for creating Form using SWT, but these are more of snippets. These are great if I want to generate the file myself, but I would like the IDE to most of that work (since I am lazy).

Instantiations SWT Designer is probably your best bet.
