Q: 

JavaFx: How to develop a visual rich menu interface?

I'm trying to develop a desktop program, unifying java and javafx.

For now, I want to know recommendations about how to create a rich menu interface for my program, something like the menu of Office 2007 or Modellus.

So, what you recommend to start developing that?

A: 

I don't know what level of experience you have with JavaFX, but if it's limited, then start with the tutorials at javafx.com, and similar on the web (see Jim Weaver's site).

From there I think your best bet would be to find similar open source applications and learn from those. Frankly I think it won't be easy because there's not a great deal of similar applications out there to learn from.

However you could take a look at Project MaiTai, MusicExplorer for starters.

@Matthew I thought there was some technology associated with JavaFx that could help me building that kind of menu. Thank you, anyway. I'll start from tutorials, and try to make a mix of Swing and JavaFx, doing whatever is possible.

Take a look also at jfxtras.org - it might not have specific menu type stuff, but some of the available components might help you on your way.
