Adding new features to FxApplication

Juan F. Esteban Müller requested to merge site.ess.devel.fxapplication into site.ess.master

Several new features included:

  • Adding accelerator test mode: channels get a suffix appended automatically for testing purposes.
  • New methods setup and beforeStart that can be overridden in FxApplication to initialize the application at different stages when loading.
  • Controller abstract class introduced with similar startup methods (initialize and beforeStart).
  • Adding Light and Dark Theme.
  • Adding About menu that displays the information from About.properties file. It also informs about the installed Open XAL version.
  • Several TreeView widgets: AcceleratorTreeView, ComboSequencesTreeView, and PowerSuppliesTreeView.
  • Fixing bugs related to AcceleratorProperty and SequenceProperty when not defined correctly (or not used).
  • Fixed XMLDataManager methods to save accelerator optics files. Added as a new property to the application.
  • Refactored Menu event handlers to make use of lambda functions.
  • Updated to Java FX 16.
  • Refactored readback handles methods in AcceleratorNode. Now it uses annotations on the channel handlers and reflections.
  • New dipole bucket to simplify XML files. Each magnet type gets its own attributes.

This MR is NOT backwards compatible with older Open XAL versions in 2 aspects:

  • Old lattice files won't work correctly.
  • Old FX applications won't work.
