properties of custom controls in SceneBuilder

[Eric Le Ponner]

I would say it's deeply embedded.

SB2 currently defines a fixed list of "property classes" that can be edited in the Inspector panel.
Extending this list with a new type means:
- adding some specific metadata that help Scene Builder to edit/create FXML text
- adding some specific UI logic that enables the Inspector panel to present and let the user edit the value
Doing this requires a pretty deep understanding of SB2 architecture.
