Reloading stylesheets

[Tom Schindl]

There is internal API:

com.sun.javafx.css.StyleManager.getInstance().reloadStylesheets(scene);

which is GONE in FX8 (but there it is not needed anyways) if you want to
support both platforms you need to use reflection to call it.

In e(fx)clipse preview I do:

> if( isJavaFX2() ) {
> 	ReflectiveInvoke.onStyleManagerClass(scene);
> }

where the reflective vode looks like:

> public static void onStyleManagerClass(Scene s) throws Exception {
> 		/*
> 		 * com.sun.javafx.css.StyleManager.getInstance().reloadStylesheets(scene);
> 		 */
> 		Class<?> cl = Class.forName("com.sun.javafx.css.StyleManager");
> 		Method m1 = cl.getMethod("getInstance");
> 		Object o1 = m1.invoke(null);
> 		
> 		Method m2 = cl.getMethod("reloadStylesheets", Scene.class);
> 		m2.invoke(o1, s);
> 	}
