Cannot build JMC

[Marcus Hirt]

The JavaFX bits are used by optional plug-ins, and they should be
downloaded from maven central when required. It should be possible to
build JMC without having JavaFX linked into the JDK. I actually
thought this was already the case. I will open an Issue.

Kind regards,
Marcus
