Using JavaFX in Jython Applications

Have you heard about JavaFX script yet? Of course you have, it is one of the hottest topics in the Java world today. Although in it's early stages, JavaFX script proves to be an easily learned and powerful scripting language addition to the Java community. It gives one the ability to easily create Java animations and Swing applications without coding any Java at all.
