Stage hide/show from Swing

[Matthias Hänel]

Thanks Scott for your fast answer.


Well, in this case 

PlatformImpl.runLater(new Runnable()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
	{
		...


is never called. I believe it is not called because the Stage is not running anymore and 
therefore the JFX Main Thread is stopped.

I am now on 1.8.0_60 and have still the same behaviour :(


regards
Matthias
