Planning for JavaFX.next

[Tom Eugelink]

 From my perspective, from this list, TableView is a big candidate to get some real TLC. And about animations; for testing it is very important to be able to _easy_ detect when an animation is still active (one of the biggest problems I currently have with CSS 3 animations).

About Layout containers, those are fairly easily written by the community, so I'm not sure is that is what you should be focusing at. I've done MigPane and am now working on ResponsivePane. I think the JavaFX team should more focus on the core?

And do add mobile to that core please. Maybe not the full monty like Gluon, but help as much as possible.

We are starting to compile our list of what we think is important, but we really want to hear from the community about what their highest priorities are to them. As always, it's important to keep in mind what JavaFX is (e.g. it isn't aiming to be a high-performance game engine), but even still there are bound to be a number of places where people might want to weigh in, for example:
