JavaFX8: functional interface API for Propertys

[Richard Bair]

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but JavaFX was designed with Single Abstract Method interfaces (SAM interfaces) from the get-go, knowing that this was the main requirement in order to use Lambda's automatic closure conversion feature. This means, most every place in JavaFX that takes an interface (such as a Runnable, an EventHandler, a Callback) will work directly with lambda's. Also some functionality was omitted in JavaFX 2.x (such as filtering / sorting) because we knew that knew APIs were being added to Java 8 that would impact our API design and wanted to make sure we waited for those new APIs (such as Predicate).
