(Java) FX Experience Tools--Feels Like Native Mac App

FX Experience Tools application comes with a native Mac OS X DMG installation package. The installation experience is undistinguishable from native Mac applications. The icon in the dock looks great.
I only miss a splash screen…

Also the UI is competitive with native Mac applications. The look and feel reminds me on iOS (iPad) applications.

I was not even sure whether it is a Java FX application and had to look into the installation package to convince myself. Java (FX) UI is back. Great job!

Adam, I am considering to adopt Java FX 2.0 but I don't know anyone using it. Are you developing something based on it?

I agree with you. Its great with respect to the UI and other features are also appealing. But the only thing which I found un-amusing is that the tool is very slow. Its response time is really needs to be worked upon.
