We do have plans to let the scenegraph and media (Java Media Component or JMC) have Java apis, but we don't have any public details right now and I can't say when we will. Right now I'm talking about JavaFX.
Binding will never be available from Java because that's a part of the JavaFX Script language itself. That said, I had a really great conversation with Charles from JRuby and some .NET guys at OreDev about how to tackle the issue of language object interoperability, so I suspect we will eventually be able to hook into JavaFX Script's bound variables from other languages. Don't expect anything in the near future, however. Right now our publicity focus is on JavaFX. We will talk more about Java and Java 7 at JavaOne in May, which is a more appropriate venue. -j On Dec 1, 2008, at 5:52 PM, Jess Holle wrote: > 1.
