Validation Support

[Dirk Lemmermann]

Hi everyone,

I updated the validation framework ValidatorFX today in our project to the latest release and I really like it a lot. It is a small compact API and works with any observable as opposed to the validation support provided by ControlsFX. 

Using it made me wonder whether it would make sense to bundle it or something like it directly with JavaFX. Developers often mention missing validation support as a drawback of using JavaFX. Adding this would take one item off from the list of arguments against using JavaFX. 

Many UI frameworks do have built-in validation support, e.g. Vaadin [0], Angular, [1], or QT [2]

What do you think?
