JDK-8092211 - Promote all skin and behavior classes of the default controls to the public API
Description
In JavaFX 8 it was possible to pass a custom behavior in the constructor of  TextFieldSkin and MenuButtonSkinBase. In Java 9ea-u175 this is no longer supported, which makes it pretty hard to provide a custom behavior for extended controls.
Comments
I've declared as bug because FX8 partially supported custom behavior, even if skin classes were internal - in FX9 skin classes are public but the behavior support has been totally removed without any proper substitute. Anyway, nothing you are not aware of...

This is not a bug, since there is no public API in JDK 8 -- the abliity to pass a custom behavior relied on JavaFX internals -- but rather a duplicate of the existing RFE to add support for custom behaviors.
