running systemtests in isolated java processes

Hi,

We currently run systemtests using a gradle command, but that doesn't start
a clean Java process for the individual tests (which would be very
convenient as that allows us to inspect the process with VisualVM).
We know the behavior of a JavaFX application can be different depending if
1. the mainClass is the class extending from Application
2. the mainClass is a wrapper class from e.g. Gradle or Maven.

For system tests, I think it would be real handy to run them using the
first option, but I am not aware of an easy solution to make that work with
the current gradle setup. Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

- Johan
