Hello, Is there a way how to make your existing PApplet as FXNode in JavaFX scene ?

Also an old related discussion with @Kevin on Stackoverflow

**Note: that answer no longer works for Processing 3 – it is for Processing 2.**

See my _Stack Overflow_ answers [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52709779/java-processing-3-paplet-in-javafx-scene-as-fxnode/52782409#52782409) (I see it’s been linked already in this thread) or [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28266274/how-to-embed-a-papplet-in-javafx/52692136#52692136) for how to incorporate Processing as Node within a JavaFX stage/scene.

An example project (pictured below), integrating the two, can be found [here](https://github.com/micycle1/ProcessingFX) (github repo).

Embedding a Processing drawing within a swing-node within a JavaFX stage as suggested [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27948634/how-do-i-use-a-processing-code-in-javafx) does not seem to work.
