Stage hide/show from Swing

[Kevin Rushforth]

You should call Platform.setImplicitExit(false) to disable the default 
behavior where the FX toolkit exits when the last Stage is closed.

One more suggestion:

> PlatformImpl.startup(new Runnable()

This is not public API and should be avoided. If you are running a Swing 
application and want to startup the FX toolkit, you should create a new 
instance of JFXPanel (even if you don't use it).
