Accessing JavaFX's StageHelper and ContextMenuContent in Jigsaw

[Kevin Rushforth]

To give some additional context, here are some brief comments I wrote on 
jigsaw-dev (before suggesting that this topic move over here).

1) The StageHelper class is deliberately not exposed for good reasons, 
since it's purpose is to provide internal access to non-public state.

2) We moved most of the skin classes to a publicly exported 
javafx.scene.control.skin package as part of JEP 253, but that didn't 
include ContextMenuContent.

3) in addition to the two internal classes, you are also accessing a 
non-supported (and not documented) impl_* method which may or may not 
continue to work.

Can you explain what you are trying to do with these classes? Perhaps 
there is an alternative?
