Why switching to OSGi ? No need IMHO. You can make JFX OSGi-aware pretty
easily repackaging it by yourself with BND or inside a pom while
building your app.
Of course, I do not intend redistribute a modified JFX runtime. As the
classes involved have not open sourced yet, Ihope the JFX team
implements my suggestion, as in a real community should always happen
;-) . As i said, the change is not invasive. It would be enough to check
the existence of a property- kind of "javafx.library.path". Then you can
force loading any native lib in your own BundleActivator implementation.
If present and not null libraries get loaded from the that path,
otherwise they keep followingthe current approach. That's all.
