CalendarTextField data binding

[joseph....@gmail.com]

This is my first foray into JFXtras.  The CalendarTextField and CalendarTimeTextField are some of the first instances of date/time specific widgets that seem to have promise for handling date (and times) reasonably well.  How do I bind a CalendarTextField to a data model property?  I see that the property needs to be a java.util.Calendar, which is immutable.  Is there a way to make the field "mutable" to allow for a date/time entered by the user to be set into the model property and vice versa?  I tried binding the widget valueProperty to an ObjectProperty<Calendar> but it does not seem to set the value into the property.  What is the correct way to do this?  Thanks.

There are some example (Trial) classes in the test directory, like this one:
https://github.com/JFXtras/jfxtras-labs/blob/2.2/src/test/java/jfxtras/labs/scene/control/CalendarTextFieldTrial1.java

The currently selected or entered date (Calendar) is available via the value property. And that you can bind or listen to.

BTW: Calendar itself is not immutable, but the control treats it as an immutable. You should not try to use the Calendar's setter. Also, there currently is a LocalDatePicker and soon also LocalDateTextField.
