As far as I tested it without the fix only one of the following two things works: the native menu bar or the open url handler.

Because if JFX is installed first, the native menu bar works, but since AWT is then running embedded, the url handler doesn't work. If JDK / AWT is installed first the open url handler works, but not the native menu bar, since JFX is then running embedded. 

My fix works for the first issue, as it lets JFX send the OpenURL event to AWT and therefore fixes the issue. 

So I hope this answers You two questions.
