Hi Philip,
I do backport jfx8 to jfx7 and then retrolambda it to be jdk6
compatible. It sort of works ok. I suppose that it just replaces class
file version since there are not used lambda expressions in jfx8 yet.
Will see if that solution works when lambdas start to appear in jfx.

I might be a bit late to the party but I lately discovered something that might
be useful for backporting JavaFX 8 to Java 6:
Retrolambda lets you run Java 8 code with lambda expressions on Java 7 or
lower. It does this by transforming your Java 8 compiled bytecode so that it
can run on a Java 7 runtime. After the transformation they are just a bunch of
normal .class files, without adding any runtime dependencies.

Hope this helps,
