(note that review comments should go into the JIRA)
Hi John,
You raise a good point about possibly moving the runtime initialization
section. Perhaps it's worth a follow-up JIRA for FX 8u20 or 9 to address
this. One possibility is to have most of the documentation in the
Application class, and then refer to it from Platform, JFXPanel, and
FXCanvas.

The comments around application runtime initialization seem like they belong
more properly in the application lifecycle javadoc for the Application class
rather than on the Platform.runLater method specifically, though I do see how
the runtime initialization cuts across multiple classes
(Application/JFXPanel/FXCanvas, etc), so perhaps it is OK having the
description where it is (lacking some better place to put it). Useful
information though, thanks for including it.
+ *For standard JavaFX applications that extend

+ * For Swing applications that use JFXPanel to display FX content, the FX
+ * runtime is initialized when the first JFXPanel instance is constructed.
+ * For SWT application that use FXCanvas to display FX content, the FX
+ * runtime is initialized when the first FXCanvas instance is constructed.
