Extending Builders: Layout Builders (original) (raw)

I'm not too sure on how the builder is hooked into the FXML but I would have assumed reflection too. I would have thought the tools could just inspect the builder class to find methods on it but if not perhaps there is a need to allow builders to declare their meta data (eg annotations, javadoc tags or XML).

FXML operates 'above' the control level so in general it doesn't have any special information that the builder tools wouldn't have. The only difference is FXML is grabbing the data whereas the builder tools want to list the options so there could be some gaps.

The builders are constructed through JavaFXBuilderFactory and all the FXML stuff is already in the mercurial repo.
