Tray Icon?

[Michael Paus]

My mistake. Sorry. I read the question a bit too fast :-).
Anyway, here is an example of how to use the AWT system tray
from within JavaFX. Maybe it helps:

I just verified that this still works with Java 11+.
Otherwise I fully support the idea of getting this shortcoming fixed  in 
JavaFX itself.

I think that requires some careful thought. Some of the code should be independent of the UI toolkit and it could be shared between the AWT and JavaFX implementations. In a modular JRE we shouldn’t need the Swing modules to have a system tray icon in a JavaFX app.
