I've been running some experiments to see if I can get a JavaFX GUI by
calling the JavaFX classes from Clojure.  Basically, it's a pain in
the ass, because I haven't found a documented Java API.  I'm hoping
that they publish something at some point, so that you don't have to
learn yet another scripting language to build these GUIs...  but
anyway, before I start decompiling class files I wanted to ask if
anyone else has been playing with this, or maybe knows about some
documentation that I haven't found.

I'm interested in this as well, but haven't made it to experimenting yet.

Here are some references:

I recall an interview I heard on the Java Posse podcast with some members of the JavaFX team. They were talking about inquiries they'd received from the various JVM Language communities (e.g., Scala and Groovy) regarding interop. The interviewer asked about Clojure and they said they hadn't heard from us yet. I'm thinking this may be because once we know how to do it from Java, we're all set. Perhaps they'd like to hear from us though.
