JavaFX would allow us to focus elsewhere instead of sitting here and creating a control for everything. Especially since most of us don't really OpenGL very well.
We can also set our own look and feel for JavaFX controls which would allow us to style them how we'd like them to be. Could allow two styles by default. "Obsidian" and "Minecraft". Would take some effort to make a L&F though.
L&F wouldn't be too bad, I know someone who could even do a complete graphic design evaluation and help create the L&F based on what we need.
The biggest question is how well will all the controls from JavaFX work in LWJGL. Until we have an example of it in use we won't really know for sure.
This might be of a help. https://github.com/Spasi/LWJGL-FX
Obsidian needs a GUI API. I've committed a bit back a draft of a GUI system based on Visual Studio rendered by the Caustic rendering library. This is a monumental task to finish and if an existing solution could be dropped in, with minor changes, and work I'm all ears.
