Hi Ingo,

Before we started the wrapper, I have been developing a scene
graph-based framework that uses concepts from functional reactive
programming (FRP) instead of listeners. This even goes beyond what
JavaFX supports today. Unfortunately, I have been slowed down by various
things lately. While the FRP layer is much more stable than before, the
UI still needs a lot of work. I do realize that this is not something I
will be able to continue on my own, hence my focus for the rest of year
will be to bring it to a state where I can open up the code and others
will be able to participate in its development.
That's not how Open Source works best. Release it now, just as it is! There may be others that can help you already. If there are any papers about FRP, release them as well!

I do think that ScalaFX would be the best way to go, though. For a small community there are just far too many things to be done for a GUI framework to work well. Maybe your project could merge both.
