Hi Tom,
For Spring Source IDE, we've developed a dashboard based on JavaFx. See http://docs.spring.io/sts/nan/v350/NewAndNoteworthy-M1.html.
The basic code as I'm sure you'll appreciate pretty simple, but there are some nice features in the implementation that we thought might have broader appeal. First, it provides all of the standard browser buttons, title bar, etc.. for identical behaviour to SWT browser. (No, we haven't solved the problem of integrating this w/ platform's browser choice mechanism!)
But the part that I'm enthusiastic about is that the browser builds on top of JavaFx's much cleaner mechanism for Javascript calls to provide extensions for Eclipse functions and callbacks to the web page. In Spring IDE, we use these to insert custom widgets into the dashboard and then to integrate the web page back into the IDE for a seamless UX.
So just wanted to check if e(fx)clipse would have any interest in a contribution of this. All of the code is in:
https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-commons/tree/master/org.springsource.ide.eclipse.commons.gettingstarted
Note that that includes all of our dashboard stuff as well -- we haven't yet factored out the general stuff into a separate bundle. It's in https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-commons/tree/master/org.springsource.ide.eclipse.commons.gettingstarted/src/org/springsource/ide/eclipse/commons/browser and associated extension points.
cheers,
Miles

Hi Miles,
We welcome any contribution to the project! The browser component sounds
like a nice additions others might want to make use of.
Just open a bugzilla and we can discuss there.
