The pagination control is a intended to be used on devices with limited screen space. For requirement details, please see the UI spec, which can be found here: http://xdesign.us.oracle.com/projects/javaFX/fxcontrols-ue/specifications/pagination/pagination-UEspec-2-2.html

The UI Controls team met on February 2, and discussed this control and what we believe the requirements are. The discussion centered around the following points:

 * Can be seen as a specialised TabPane-like control
 * Does not include support for virtualised controls such as ListView, TreeView and TableView (this would be handled internally by these controls themselves, however these controls may be placed inside a 'page' within the Pagination UI control).
 * Assumed no animation support for now.
 * Assumption is that this is a new control whose implementation may borrow a lot from TabPane (as the Pagination control is largely a differently-styled TabPane).
 * Open question around enabling the virtualisation of pages (that is, enabling the ability for what is displayed to the user to be handled without necessarily having to have separate in-memory 'pages').
 * Open question around the need for touch gestures such as swipe).

Based on the UI controls team discussion, the 'planning poker' value for this feature was deemed to be 8.
