As mentioned in the pull request, this cannot be done as proposed
without causing a behavioral regression and breaking JavaFX
applications. If done, it should be done carefully using a similar
process to the deprecate-for-removal in one release (to give
applications time to react and adapt) and then remove in a future release.
Before getting into a discussion of how to do it, though, can you say
more about the reasons you want to do it?

Hi!
JavaFX is no longer a part of OpenJDK. It does not make sense to treat it
specially in the JDK. Hence, as suggested in JDK-
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8248122>8248122
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8248122>, the Launcher class
should be refactored to remove the JavaFX specific handling code.
Accordingly, I have proposed a patch here
<https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/978>.
All suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
