JavaFX Application hang when Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() called before launch

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Davin,

Yes, this is a known issue. If you ultimately have to initialize AWT 
before starting FX, then you should set the javafx.macosx.embedded 
system property to true (e.g. -Djavafx.macosx.embedded=true on the 
command-line).

Another option is to upgrade to FX8 where this issue is resolved.
