Questions ad JavaScript in JavaFX' WebEngine

[Kevin Rushforth]

WebEngine uses WebKit's JavaScriptCore as its JavaScript engine. The 
sources are in the jfx repo, along with the JavaFX-specific classes that 
implement the two-way Java <--> JavaScript bridge. Other than the public 
API docs for WebEngine, which you referred to in your message, there 
isn't any documentation of the interface. What sort of information are 
you looking for?
