The JavaFX web view is hard to debug and it is missing support or several
common APIs. I blogged about this a while back
http://sjhannah.com/blog/2015/06/29/javafx-webview-html5-api-support/

The latest JDK may have updated to a newer version of WebKit, but I doubt
they've resolved all of the issues.  I would avoid it for wrapping a
general purpose GWT app.

The best results I've ever had with wrapping web apps as a desktop app is
Electron (http://electron.atom.io/).  It uses Chromium, and it is as easy
to debug as actually running it in Chrome.

If your application is not just static HTML, but has a server-side
component, then you can bundle it with Jetty to create a standalone web app
bundle.

If you're okay with a "plex media server" style app (i.e. where you start
the app on the command line, which starts a server on some special port -
and then opens a browser to that port), then you should check out jdeploy,
as it will allow you to easily to deploy a .war file as a standalone
command-line application using an embedded Jetty.
