Vulkan, Mental and customized Node Support? and stable prism api

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

We - BestSolution together with some of our customers - are currently doing a PoC to integrate native rendering (OpenGL and D3D) into OpenJFX.

So far our progress is very good and we hope we can share something very soon.
