Any plans for JavaFX 2.0 support?

I haven't noticed anything about it, so I'm wondering whether the folks at Jetbrains are working on, perhaps, a GUI builder that uses the (supposedly) upcoming JavaFX 2.0.
To the best of our knowledge, JavaFX 2.0 will be simply a class library, and as such it will not need any specific IDE support. We are not working on a new GUI builder, and do not really plan to.

Thanks for the quick answer, Dmitry. Yes, it's just a class library, but because it will include, from what I understand, new layout managers and such, I thought that might warrant changes to the GUI builder that's currently based around Swing. I had heard that Oracle understands that to make Java GUI programming a viable alternative to various offerings from Adobe and Microsoft, it will have to not-only revamp the library but make sure that quality GUI builders exist as well. I happen to much prefer IDEA's GUI builder to NetBeans'.
