What if the new JFX scene graph was ported to Cocoa, could an AWT

mainly just interfacing with OpenGL?
Who would be supposed to do the port? In my understanding, JFX relies on
Java2D, that is on the JDK... So it's the other way around.
Back to JKoala. Well, on this side there's no audacious people (with the
exception of Landon Fuller et al.), otherwise SoyLatte would have
received significant contributions in the past two years. So, I assume
that no people will move without money. Emmanuel's statement is clear
and honest and he's putting his face on it. He's got excellent skills.
In the worst case, if he fails people will just lose 50 EUR, which is
basically one dinner at a good restaurant, and in any case we will have
*something* using Cocoa and not a clean sheet. If he finds some
cul-de-sac in development, we will know that and maybe somebody else
will be able to go on with another route.
So I'm personally endorsing his attempt and I donated my 50 EUR (I need
to lose weight anyway). Maybe some corporate, including the big ones,
finds the time to give some more bucks?
