Introduction to JavaFX

" summary

A Swing race-finder UI is rebuilt piecewise using FXML for layout, CSS for styling, a cell factory for custom list cells and ObservableList to auto-update views, reusing the existing Race data provider. The demo loads real web pages via WebView (WebKit), embeds JavaFX inside Swing with JFXPanel embedding, and runs animations with Parallel/Scale/Translate transitions. Cells are virtualized (only about a dozen created even for millions of items), threading uses Platform.runLater, and the live demo works.
