HEADS-UP: change to FX launcher to always call main is coming in b91

[Kevin Rushforth]

As several developers have noticed, the new Java 8 launcher semantics 
for JavaFX applications changed the behavior of standalone FX 
applications such that the main() method is no longer called. This has 
had some undesirable consequences for some applications and is at odds 
with what IDEs and Java application developers expect.

As such, https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-28755 was filed to 
revert the part of the behavioral change that bypassed calling main().

Starting with JDK 8-b91 the algorithm for launching FX application 
classes is:

1) If a "public static void main(String[])" method exists, the Java 8 FX 
launcher will call it. In this case the main method must call 
Application.launch() to launch the FX application. This is consistent 
with what currently happens in Java 7 / FX 2 for applications run in an 
IDE or from class files.

2) If a main() method does not exist, then the Java 8 FX launcher will 
call the application launch method directly.

Note that the Java 8 launcher will still start up the FX toolkit prior 
to calling main so that FX classes that expect the toolkit to be running 
can be constructed prior to the Application class being constructed.

Let me know if you have any questions.
