Description
There are two problems with the builders code
1. it's not possible to call static create method for parametrized builders (RT-24272)
2. binary incompatibility when class hierarchy changes
With 8.0 javac, the builders code won't even compile.
Since there is no easy solution for these issues, the builders should be deprecated in 8.0 and removed in next version.

RT-14875 has a lot of "back-story" about the builders.

RT-35522 involves improving documentation for FXMLLoader.

Sure. I just added a "related to" link.

Can this be linked to RT-29409?

Builders were already deprecated, the only remaining task is to document the migration strategy
