https://github.com/torbuntu/jfx/tree/touch-support <- This is the branch where I've been poking away at implementing touch support. I was trying to implement the correct gtk bindings but haven't looked at it in a few months when other things came up. Maybe some fresh eyes can help move this in the right direction? My last commit was some comments where I was working.
