I am very impressed with the JavaFX properties and bindings functionality and feel that it is far more general in scope than just a UI toolkit like JavaFX. For me, I think the entire feature should be moved to a standard Java package so that it can readily be used in non-JavaFX applications.
Is there any reason such as threading issues or some form of functional dependency that would prevent JavaFX properties and bindings being used in a non-JavaFX application such as a server-side component? My testing seems to suggest that they work just fine outside of a JavaFX context but I would like to be sure. Any thoughts on extracting this functionality from JavaFX and moving it to a more general location in the Java package hierarchy? Thanks, -jct
