Review request for 8166242: Removal of com.sun.javafx.embed.AbstractEvents

[Kevin Rushforth]

Hi Alexander,

Since this is an enhancement, it needs to go through the FC extension 
process indicated here:

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/fc-extension-process

First and foremost, we will need to assess the impact of the change and 
whether this is the right time to consider such a change. I note that 
since this does not add additional functionality, but just refactors 
existing functionality to be easier to maintain, we might at least 
consider it when/if the recently announced schedule slip for JDK 9 
becomes effective.
