Serializing JFXPanel with java.beans.XMLEncoder

[Lidierth, Malcolm]

OK - the original null pointer exception was because of the issue with WebView that is now on JIRA.

I now get a more easily understood exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: javafx.scene.Scene.<init>()javafx.scene.Scene

as Scene has no null constructor.

So I guess my question now relates to optimism: the beans encoder handles JFXPanel fine, but
am I right that  I will need to populate that JFXPanel by writing my own classes/delegates to create the scene - and that standard FX components do not have ready-made delegates as do the Swing components that will be invoked through the get/set methods using a default persistence delegate? I guess that would be asking a lot.

Hi, Lidierth,

could you provide the exception stack trace, please? It would help to
understand whether you're over-optimistic or not :)

Thanks,

Artem
