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

[Tom Schindl]

Hi Kevin,

having looked deeper into this I think simply providing the builders is 
not enough :-( because they are only used (if not handled as a special 
case in JavaFXBuilderFactory) if there's NO default constructor!

The problem is: One can not even push his/her own factory because 
JavaFXBuilderFactory does some magic when it self-detects that a Builder 
is needed and internally wraps it.

The question now is what is happening with Builders in FX8, if they are 
getting deprecated it makes no sense to fix the FXML-Builder story.
