RFR: JDK-8248122: java.base should not handle JavaFX application in a specific way

[Kevin Rushforth]

I see. Thanks for the explanation. We can continue the discussion on 
this list (and separately on the core-libs-dev list) then. It will allow 
us to make a deliberate (and hopefully informed) decision as to what we 
want to do going forward.

Thanks.
