> I need a couple days to really think about it. The basic idea is that it provides an alternative way to populate the FXML namespace with things that could be referenced. So for example instead of having to add properties to a controller that your FXML then binds to, you could just create a <param> for elements in your namespace map provided on the FXML loader and then you could reference those from elsewhere in the document.
I'm afraid I still don't completely understand. Could you provide a concrete example?

I think you may be thinking of Builder, rather than BuilderFactory. BuilderFactory defines a single getBuilder() method, like ControllerFactory's getController().
