Description

I happened to spot this in the log while doing a build:

file or directory 'modules/javafx.media/build/native/mac/Release/libjfxmedia_qtkit.dylib', not found

The QuickTime-based media player on macOS was removed by JDK-8145602. As a follow-on fix, JDK-8242531 removed the logic from OSXPlatform that tried to load nonexistent libjfxmedia_qtkit library. There are still two references (plus a comment) in build.gradle that should be removed.
