Is the NetBeans Platform the best choice for a JavaFX only desktop application?

Hi Geertjan,

Thanks for the information. I am looking for a no-Swing solution for this project. I do have the book JavaFX Client Programming for the NetBeans Platform, but they explore a hybrid approach, just like the tutotial for porting JavaFx applications.
I sent a message to Hermien Pellissier because I was interested in the example she posted (replacing the Windows Manager). That is a starting point.
Would it be possible to get some guidelines from the NetBeans Engineers into replacing swing with JavaFX counterparts? I know it won't be easy but I was wondering if they can point out which parts of the existing code will be good candidates for reuse. For example: Is the logic that positions TopComponents into modes easily reusable? What are the modules that will need to be replaced? 
I know from some bug reports that the engineers were encouraged to take a look at the possibility of porting the platform to JavaFX. Do you have any information you can share regarding the complexities they detected?
Thanks!
