I answer myself :)

Definitely not much left to open, but the code is still not enough to
run the OpenJFX HelloWorld without the closed jars in the classpath [1]

I guess I need to wait a bit more to try this out again...

But this brings another question (sorry for spamming today!) I remember
you had some plans regarding the font subsystem. What happened to that? 

I didn't see much discussion going on anymore this but I guess this is
actually a very good place where we can help out with some non trivial
code contribution.

Cheers,
Mario
