The qualified exports are done using reflection to the calling module 
that contains the javafx.embed.swt.FXCanvas class, irrespective of the 
name of the module (so it works even when the javafx.embed.swt package 
is in the unnamed module). I plan to file a follow-on bug to tighten the 
integrity checks, which may or may not include requiring it to be in a 
module named "javafx.swt", depending on whether all of the use cases can 
be done with javafx-swt.jar being loaded in a named module (e.g., 
Mandy's recommendation of using the Layer API).
