The question is: what are you binding to? If it's a library on the OS that gets updated from time to time and JavaFX relies on it being there (not bundled), then the generated bindings in a task could change and break compilation if the Java code wasn't changed. If it's a library created by JavaFX, like the bindings to graphic pipelines, then you won't want to re-run the task until you actually change the native side yourself.
