I just looked, and saw that this was discussed on the awt-dev mailing
list about 4 or 5 months ago when JDK-8074763 was reviewed. I even
raised this as a concern, but then promptly forgot about it.
I just filed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134709 to track this.
Thank you for reporting it.

I just tried it -- it's a real failure, which is odd since I thought I
had built with JDK 9 more recently than that. I will file a bug.

We still use JDK 8u40 as our boot JDK for building FX 9-dev, but it
should work against JDK 9-dev as well.
Did you remember to remove jfxrt.jar from your JDK 9? The
build.gradle script doesn't know to look for it in $JDK_HOME/lib and
warn you if you forget -- it only looks in $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/ext
which is where it is in JDK 8.

Reason seems to be the change
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/e1888730a57e
Could not find the issue in the JBS - maybe may jira fu was not good
enough...
So should we build 9-dev against jdk8u-60?
Seems I must have missed something
