Hi,
it has been discussed a number of time in the passed but let me
quickly summarize:
A number of people have requested a feature that provides the ability
to have native code draw into a surface provided by a JavaFX
application as fast as technically possible, i.e. with no indirection
or copying because use cases for this were mostly cases where
performance was critical, e.g. HD/UHD video players, real-time
visualization etc. where losing even e few percent would make a
software written in JavaFX unable to compete with native products
(e.g. in the video area nobody will use a video player that is not
able to play the content smoothly that VLC player or Quicktime can on
the same machine).
Although copying is used, I've combined JavaFX and VLC in this fashion
for over a year already, and video is smooth and stable -- stable enough
to watch full length HD movies, at 20% increased speed (the speed I
normally watch them).
Of course, if the target machine is barely able to play these, then the
extra copying overhead (which is smaller than people think) may be too much.
