Be aware that the binding of properties is lazy. That means that if a value changes,
bound properties are not updated, they only get notified of the change. Serverside that
may not be the preferred / expected behavior (binding libraries like JGoodies always
update), so it may be necessary to "short circuit" the notification to always
trigger the update.

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?
