With jigsaw you have this feature whether JavaFX is bundled with the
full JRE download & update cycle or not. If you require 2.0.2 in your
app and even if there's a 2.1, 3.0, ... available in your local module
repo, you're app will resolve 2.0.2.

It's like it is today if you'd use OSGi with the difference that using
multiple versions of the same module in one application is not possible
(or at least not all use cases are supported).

I think the only thing you are not able to control is which VM is used.
