I should have been more suspicious about the Ferengi salesman I bought my LCARS system from. Ferengi have always been skeptical towards JavaFX. I should have known that this device had been tampered with in order to bring my system down in the middle of my demo at EclipseCon Europe. Ferengi petaq!
Nevertheless, I could organize a new working LCARS terminal now and here is my demo. It demonstrates JavaFX's flexibility to create a diagram editor that does neither look like nor behave like a dull lines and boxes editor.
I extracted the data from the StarTrek fansite Memory Alpha and stored it in a local mongoDB. The font is from GTJLCARS. SVG export extends some code from the JFXtras project initially written by Gerrit Grunwald. Thanks to all of you, guys.
