JavaFX8 on iPhone! It works!

[Richard Bair]

Testing is a strong word. I'd say we have seen it work.

Apart from the extra hassle/delay now, this is going to make maintaining this backport and keeping it inline with bug fixes and updates messy.

It looks like, because the iOS one is so closely related to the Mac build, it was the easiest one to get a build for the open community. We're working on the Android build scripts. The situation on Android is exactly the same as iOS -- we're open sourcing the library code, but not a Java 8 VM. I would expect that if the iOS build on RoboVM works, that the Android build for RoboVM would also work, but I haven't tried it.
