Yes createStringBinding helps but is verbose and repetitive. format() requires the formatting to be specifiable with format codes, not Java. What I want is basically
bindBidirectional(Property<String> stringProperty, Property<T> otherProperty, StringConverter<T> converter) but with a signature of bind(Property<String> stringProperty, ReadOnlyProperty<T> otherProperty, StringConverter<T> converter) as in practice this is often what's wanted when converting data model objects into labels.
