I'm planning on spending most of Tuesday at the Devoxx Hackergarten working on upgrading the build. Also, we should have the javafx packager (which does the native application co-bundles) open sourced this week.

The native packager has no dependency on JavaFX. It should be completely standalone. 

There is some code specifically for launching FX applications that handle not having an FX runtime. I haven't looked, but I would think they don't depend on FX.

I'm working on open sourcing javafxpackager, but I got pulled back to look at a 7u10 regression. I'll have a better estimate once I get that taken care of.
