Failure building openjfx 9-dev against jdk9 build fails

[Kevin Rushforth]

I just looked, and saw that this was discussed on the awt-dev mailing 
list about 4 or 5 months ago when JDK-8074763 was reviewed. I even 
raised this as a concern, but then promptly forgot about it.

I just filed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134709 to track this.

Thank you for reporting it.
