buildSrc/addExports
    FX modules are compiled together and I don't expect these 
--add-exports are needed.  I suspect it's because of the boot JDK and 
this is a temporary dance?


PlatformLogger.java
  150     public static synchronized PlatformLogger getLogger(String name) {

This keeps the weak reference to all PlatformLogger created.  A 
simplification is to return

    new PlatformLogger(System.getLogger(name));

System::getLogger should return the same instance if it has been 
created.  I also suspect the caller of PlatformLogger::getLogger keeps a 
strong reference and calls it once.

I recalled there were some native methods calling the Java API to set 
level.  It has been a while back since I looked at it and things miight 
have changed.  Is there such reference any more?

Other than the above comments, this change looks good.
