Found an Oracle article <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/embedded/develop-platforms/javafx.htm> on getting JavaFX 8 to work on a Beagleboard-xM which may be relevant to the BBB. In the article DirectFB <http://www.directfb.org/> is used for graphics rendering however it is done in software, which may be BRUTAL performance wise. Might be worth trying the DirectFB method which could work for other technologies that require EGL 2 support (eg Kivy <http://kivy.org> for Python).
