How to trigger property invalidation?

[Martin Sladecek]

Hi Werner,
maybe an ObjectProperty isn't really what you are looking for. If you 
have single bean with an non-observable property (BTW, how do you know 
it has changed?) and you want to convert it to an FX property, why not 
using a property of the same type as MyBean.myProperty and set FX 
property when myProperty changes?
