How to wrap a swing component in a javaFX 2.0 application

The ability to wrap a swing component in a javaFX application seems to have vanished from javaFX 2:

javafx.ext.swing.SwingComponent

is not there any more in javaFX 2 beta API.

Is there still a way to do this in the new API?

SwingNode class is used to embed a Swing content into a JavaFX application. Here is the link.

There is 3rd-party support library, see http://rkennke.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/swing-in-javafx-demo/

According to this issue on the FX 2.0 JIRA they aren't planning to support it in the initial release of FX 2.0. There's also no promise that they will do it down the road.

It seems that since javafx 2.0+, we can't embed Swing component into JavaFX (vice versa is possible, using JFXPanel class), detail in this link:

I accidentally found this link when trying to embed Swing Calendar view component into JavaFX 2.0 application (which I suppose it's possible at the beginning).
