A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Currently, if a class file has both a main() method and is a JavaFX Application, launching with "java <classname>" or launching similarly in jdb will always run the main() method. It would be nice if there were a command line switch to force a JavaFX-style launch in that case.


JUSTIFICATION :
For a JavaFX application, the main() method may be a test, or may be designed to run the program in a different way from a normal JavaFX launch.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Launch the JavaFX application at the command line by running:

java -javafx HelloWorld2

or similar.
ACTUAL -
There is no easy way to do that when a main() method is present.
