Preloaders

[Daniel Zwolenski]

Thanks Mark. If the user sets a preloader in the plugin I'm going to pass that same class to the jar and to the native bundle. I guess people will complain to me if that doesn't work and I'll point them your way. 

Are they ever going to let you do some packager stuff? I gave up waiting for the revolution and rebuilt the maven plugin to be less crap than it was but its the underlying packaging tools that need the rewrite if JFX is ever going to have a decent deployment option.
