The change was designed to be largely source-level compatible, but

If PlatformLogger API is supposed to be binary-compatible with
non-JDK code, then we must revert this change and apply the
binary-compatible one that uses switch statement.
I don't know what their expectation is but as the builds aren't
integrated then I would expect at least some mix 'n match. Mandy
might have more context. I think (but I'm not certain) that FX has
been using the PlatformLogger for performance/startup reasons but I'm
not certain if there is an "agreement" to provide both source and
binary compatibility going forward.
It depends on whether JavaFX 8 needs to run on older JDK. I believe
not and I'll follow up with the FX team about this and update you.
Alan - thanks for finding this out and filing the bug (8011380)
Another question is whether currently released JavaFX (2.2.7) or any
older version is already using PlatformLogger and what if someone wants
to just upgrade to JDK8 and keep using older JavaFX...
