The change was designed to be largely source-level compatible, but

JDK7 and JDK8 ?
If PlatformLogger API is supposed to be binary-compatible with
non-JDK code, then we must revert this change and apply the
binary-compatible one that uses switch statement.
I don't know what their expectation is but as the builds aren't
integrated then I would expect at least some mix 'n match. Mandy might
have more context. I think (but I'm not certain) that FX has been
using the PlatformLogger for performance/startup reasons but I'm not
certain if there is an "agreement" to provide both source and binary
compatibility going forward.
It depends on whether JavaFX 8 needs to run on older JDK. I believe not
and I'll follow up with the FX team about this and update you.
Alan - thanks for finding this out and filing the bug (8011380)
Thanks
