Hm? NetworkTables is a standalone application built for creating custom components (dashboards, controller drivers, etc). When you build a project with the SmartDashboard sources, NetworkTables is already included as well as the code to integrate with the SmartDashboard. As stated before, if you want to add a dashboard control you have to either follow the link you posted for sFX or http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do...iki/Extensions for the old SmartDashboard.

Hey I like ruby, but combining Java with Ruby and JRuby is another story, if it would've stuck to just javaFX than it would've been nicer IMO.
