JavaFX on rPi & iOS with RoboVM

[Stephen F Northover]

Hi Tom,

I bet if you entered a JIRA for some of these items (with "[iOS]" in the 
title), someone ... cough, cough ... might be able to take a look at 
them.  My RoboVM setup has been broken for a few weeks and I have been 
unable to get to it.
