MenuBar in osx to set About, Preferences, Quit

[johns at msli.com]

First bug says "Not part of the FX 8 PRD, , consider for future release"
  In my opinion this must have been an over sight.
  Hasn't changed since 2013, so it is a dead end.

Second bug says to use NSMenuFX (e.g. hybrid-app using swt).
  I need to avoid hybrid app issues.

How do I get a javafx solution if a good bug exists but isn't being
worked on?
