How to convert IconImage to Image?

[Werner Lehmann]

I have found a workaround to get from swing.ImageIcon to fx.Image: the 
ImageIcon description can be an external URL form. Dirty as can be, of 
course...

> ImageIcon swingImageIcon = (ImageIcon) swingIcon;
> Image fxImage = new javafx.scene.image.Image(swingImageIcon.getDescription());
> setGraphic(new ImageView(fxImage));
