ScalaFX

Until Version 1.5.x Sapphire depends on ScalaFX, a DSL for JavaFX written in Scala.

Version 1.6.x and newer versions are built without direct ScalaFX dependency, because ScalaFX (JavaFX UI DSL) is not basicly needed for sapphire functionality. However, it can be used on top of this framework as a very useful addition in writing JavaFX Applications.

Most of my own applications use scalafx because of a very useful DSL and some nice wrapper functions around javafx with extended functionality and / or the more scala friendly syntax.
