OpenJFX on iOS using RoboVM

Niklas!!!

This is very cool.  Please make your work available as soon as possible 
so others can try it out.  I have played a bit with RoboVM and looked 
into what would be required to port JavaFX to it but did not get the 
time to do a deep dive.  Are you using the OpenJDK for the class libraries?
