Description
In the graphics module we have an experimental implementation of an SWT-based platform. This was never a good place for it, since we do not want jfxrt.jar (even in debug mode) to have to depend on swt.jar. With the modular JDK there is no way for this to be supported. We need to remove this experimental code. If someone wants to resurrect it, it will need to be in a separate (also experimental and not shipped) module.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kcr/8136966/webrev.00/ Simple patch to remove the entire com.sun.glass.ui.swt package. I purposely left in place the class filtering in build.gradle, etc (which excludes this package is a few places) to avoid merge conflicts with jake, since the class filtering is now done very differently. Leaving them in is not harmful. I will remove them in jake after they are no longer needed.

Since we don't ship this anyway, I plan to remove it in 9-dev and then sync it to jake.
