                    javafx = true;
                    return true;
                }

Comments
Fix Request approved by Group lead. Small but useful cleanup in our JavaFX story.

Fix Request This is a very low risk fix, all it does is makes the hidden options -javafx a documented option as an alias to --javafx.

I think document it!, it is too late in jdk9 to eliminate the flag, deprecate it in jdk10 and make it redundant.

Now that JavaFX is an official part of JDK 9, either this option should be made unnecessary (high risk) or documented (low risk).
