Using JavaFX instead of plain Swing for UI

[stefanofornari]

Hi,
I'd like to get feedback on the idea of using JavaFX instead of Swing for Jeddict UI (configuration panel and chat window).

Pros:

• Modern Look and Feel
• Rich UI Controls
• Full featured WebView that we can use to show the chat, maybe even make use of javascript frameworks that would make it prettier and more comfortable to work with

Cons

• Some integration overhead
• The Look&Feel will be different (which may not be that bad after all...)
