I am not the right person to answer this question but Richard said that Jasper has been working on this for a week or so and from what I have read it sounds to me as if this could be a very efficient implementation.

Hi,

I meant the work of Jasper Potts which Richard Bair mentioned in his post.

"To be honest, it wasn't until just a couple weeks back at Devoxx that Jasper and I looked at each other and realized how stupid we were that we didn't think of providing a custom node in the javafx.embed.swing package that was capable of doing 2D graphics" Could this not be the basis of your SwingView? Right. Is there any work done in this regard? If not, I guess that's more or less exactly what we did. Roman

Before any decisions are made on this issue you might look at the following forum post.

<https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2236566&start=15&tstart=0> It is a long post. Just go to the end of it for the discussion which started on Dec. 2nd. I think there is an overlap of activities. Cool, didn't know it. However, I don't see any discussion or activity (in terms of code, or something) there. It looks a bit like what our BufferedImageView does: it takes a BufferedImage and renders it in a (subclass of) JavaFX ImageView. It's a very small class that's basically a frontend to some JavaFX internal API to do the conversion. The SwingView then builds on this for it's rendering. Regards, Roman
