In fact you ARE doing the things explained in Paul Bakker’s article. Or rather, Karaf does them for you: it sets up the system bundle exports using the contents of jre.properties.
By default Felix (and all other OSGi frameworks that I’m aware of) exports only the JavaSE standard packages. JavaFX is not part of JavaSE standard, therefore it is not exported by default. Somebody has to add its packages to the system bundle exports — you can do this yourself with a single line of code, or you can drag in all the dependencies of Karaf. I know which I would choose.
