However, if we supported private or protected property setters via the @FXML annotation (like we do with fields), we could get around this. Not a bad idea.

Ok.

I guess the support for interfaces means for me as a tooling developer
anyways that I need to locate all classes implementing the fx:controller
interface and show a validation error, auto-completion, refactoring
support, ... .
