<br>
I already mentioned this at the JavaFX BOF at DEVOXX and also posted this on Twitter but wanna make sure it gets the visibility it deserves:<br>
<br>
All I want for Christmas is … / what I think is needed for JavaFX going forward ...<br>
<br>
- removal of AWT <br>
- a tray API (tray icon) <br>
- undecorated interactive stage style <br>
- blur support for stages <br>
- WebP image format support <br>
- native embedded browser (Chromium) <br>
- 3D line and point primitives <br>
- injection support in FXML for custom controls <br>
- TableView improvements, aka. TableView2<br>
<br>
(order of items does not imply priority)<br>
