Bringing Mapbox Maps SDK to JavaFX?

[Antonio Zugaldia]

Hey all,

The recent progress in improving native rendering by supporting
WritableImages backed by NIO ByteBuffers has motivated me to investigate
the possibility of bringing the Mapbox Maps SDK to JavaFX.

For context, this is a map rendering SDK that is used today by many
different companies on mobile (https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native).
>From a technical perspective, we have a native C++ GL renderer which is
exposed on Java via good old JNI. On Android we render on a GLSurfaceView.

The question for this group is if there're any examples or docs that we
could check out to understand the best way to render over a JavaFX surface
(assuming that the new ByteBuffers-based API is the right path).

Thanks all for your work and guidance,

A.
