Stage hide/show from Swing

[Matthias Hänel]

thanks Tom for your answer.

I just tried to use Platform.setImplicitExit(false) but it didn't do anything different.
I suspect I should have this runLater behaviour for the second "start"/show phase. And hide will not close 
the JFX thread interanally. Still there is no Runable call at the second try.

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

is still not called :(
