ACTION - JavaFX modular build is here

[Laurent Bourgès]

Kevin & David,

It seems tricky to add a module dependency !

Marlin (OpenJDK) use jdk.internal.ref.CleanerFactory.cleaner() to get the
java.base Cleaner instance (Thread).

I agree for Marlin-FX, it will be easier to use the public Cleaner API but
it will cost creating another thread.

Here is the current fix :

    // JavaFX specific Cleaner for Marlin-FX:
    // Module issue with jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner
    private final static java.lang.ref.Cleaner cleaner
        = java.lang.ref.Cleaner.create();

    static java.lang.ref.Cleaner getCleaner() {
        return cleaner;
    }

instead of:
/*
    static jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner getCleaner() {
        return jdk.internal.ref.CleanerFactory.cleaner();
    }
*/

Laurent
