The warning might be warranted for JavaFX applications running in the browser (if there is still somebody out there with an enabled Java Plug-in *hint hint*, sorry :p ). For desktop applications it is quite unnecessary IMO and in addition to the warning, the keybinding (ESC) hurts, too: Games for instance usually show a menu and pause the game when pressing ESC.
