JavaFX 3D : Is FXML support for TriangleMesh available or planned?

[Tom Schindl]

Wouldn't it be possible for FXML (not talking about SceneBuilder) to 
provide a custom TriangleMeshBuilder which looks like this:

TriangleMeshBuilder ... {
   private float[] points;

   public TriangleMeshBuilder points(Collection<Float> points) {
     // ...
   }

   public TriangleMeshBuilder points(Float... points) {
     // ...
   }

   ...
   public TriangleMesh build() {
      TriangleMesh t = new TriangleMesh();
      // applyto
      t.setPoints(points);
      return t;
   }
}

This would at least fix the runtime stuff when loading FXMLs.

So all needed is that the 3d people provide the builder and FXML and 
SceneBuilder will work fine.
