Annotation Type PersistentProperty

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface PersistentProperty

This annotation can be used to mark JavaFX Properties as persistent, thus the value of these properties will be stored on your local hard drive and restored the next time your application is started.

The values for the JavaFX properties will be fetched and stored using an instance of java.util.prefs.Preferences in the background.
