Taskbar API from JavaFX Window?

[Scott Palmer]

For that API, you might consider using an AWT root Window with a JFXPanel
rather than a JavaFX Window to hold your JavaFX UI.  But discussion of how
to code the application side is not relevant for this list.

For the record here are the relevant JavaFX issues:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091107
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091517

If you want to discuss those further, this list might be the right place.
Currently JavaFX modules require the java.desktop module, so it doesn't
hurt your JRE footprint to use the Swing integration.  Hopefully
that dependency won't last long though (see
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8240844), and perhaps at the point
the desktop module dependency is removed, the motivation to implement the
above issues will be higher.

Cheers,

Scott
