Isn't that what Sun's scenegraph/scenario project is?


From what I can gather from the project site, scenegraph is/was a way for Java code to access the same scenegraph code JavaFX was using as opposed to a full Java <-> JavaFX bridge. The project looks dead - there's no mention of JavaFX 1.2, there haven't been any code commits since September 2008 and there's no mention of it on the JavaFX site (where the Learn JavaFX page has an almost empty section on "JavaFX, Java, Javascript"). To top things off - it's GPL without the classpath exception, which could be quite restricting.

However, I've found this post on using JavaFX 1.2's scenario.jar in Java
http://lqd.hybird.org/journal/?p=147

And there's an interesting article on using JavaFX's binding mechanism in java here -
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2009/06/02/hacking-javafx-binding.html


So it probably is possible to use Scala as a JavaFXScript replacement (at least on the Desktop), if you're willing to spend quality time with Google.
