Hi,
What about things like
com.sun.javafx.charts.ChartLayoutAnimator ?
Actually there may not be too many users of this, but if you try to
write
your own axis implementation (e.g. LogarithmicAxis) you may need
access to
this - correct?
I'll let Jonathan answer this.
ChartsLayoutAnimator didn't appear once on my jdeps analysis from a few
weeks back, so it hasn't been on my radar as a possible candidate for
making public. I don't imagine this will be something we try to bring
out in JDK 9, but if it is something that is generally useful and
important a bug should be filed for it.
Should we revisit every possible extension point in JavaFX and make sure
all necessary implementations can be accessed via javafx.* packages?
Yes. Although not all of them will be address in JDK 9, it will be
helpful to know what they are and what the use case is.
I agree with Kevin - half the battle is just knowing what is generally
useful. It would be wise to have an umbrella issue in JBS that tracks
all 'make XXX public' issues. If we get a few of these kind of issues
filed I'll make an umbrella issue.
