As Thomas notes, this is independent of JDK 9 or Jigsaw. We have a
couple similar RFEs filed:
JDK-8092262 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092262>: Add
Application.launch(ApplicationFactory,String... args)
JDK-8091703 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091703>: Support
for Dependency Injection in Application
JDK-8090838 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8090838>: Add
Application launching support for dynamic languages
This would be another variation of the JavaFX life-cycle and is
something we could consider for a future release (or even a JDK 9 update
release) if there were enough interest in doing this.

I think what Tom proposes makes sense even regardless of Java 9. Another
benefit is not requiring a no-arg constructor.

Hi,
I was playing around with Java9 a bit yesterday things worked fine but
what disturbs me a bit is that I need to export the package with my
Application-Subclass because naturally Java9 can not create an instance
of none-exported class with reflection.
Although not being a big problem it disturbed me a bit and from my basic
understanding I think it should be possible to introduce a 3rd variant
of Application.launch() who looks like this:
Application#launch(Application,String...)
This way no reflection is needed by the jfx bootstrap code.
