the launcher code contains AWT specific code, which is problematic for the eJRE compact model - if we use that path.

But... this code may not end up being called in normal use, so this may be OK.

This was found using an incorrect calling sequence:
     /opt/ejre1.8.0_b84_compact1/bin/java -cp ../working/artifacts/armv6hf-vfp/sdk/rt/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar:BouncingBalls.jar com.javafx.main.Main

(should be bouncingballs.Main and not com.javafx.main.Main in this case.)

and getting class not found exceptions creating NoJavaFXFallback.isOldJRE which extends JApplet.

This Jira is being filed so that wiser minds can think about this path and determine if there is a real problem that needs to be solved, or if we just want to tell people that they are doing it wrong :-)

Perhaps something in the code that tells them not to call the launcher directly ?
