JavaFX with GraalVM

[Johan Vos]

Hi,

We just posted a news entry announcing that we have a build tool that
converts JavaFX applications into native executables using GraalVM:
https://gluonhq.com/a-boost-for-java-on-the-client/

The JavaFX code used for this comes from my fork at
https://github.com/johanvos/openjdk-jfx/tree/omega which has only 1 commit
that is not upstream (yet), and that allows to build static libraries from
the JavaFX code (instead of dynamic libraries).

The source for the native parts of the Java core classes that are linked
into this release come from OpenJDK, where we built native libraries as
well (instead of dynamic libraries).

At this moment, we only do this for Mac, but Linux is almost ready too, and
other platforms will follow.
