Hi Johan,
Thanks for filing the bug.
If we really do need Character and IDN, then the cleanest approach might
be to define new fields in a suitable JavaFX class and assign the
appropriate values to them.

I filed a bug (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8192806) and I
am looking into it.
It seems a bit weird to me that the java.lang.Character and
java.net.IDN header files are needed. I'll remove them and see where
it fails.
But if they are needed (and they probably are), it won't be easy to
generate them with javac -h as that requires the source code instead
of the classfiles. That would require access to the
java.lang.Character and java.net.IDN java source code in OpenJDK, from
within OpenJFX.

Hi Johan,
Thanks for pointing this out. I had missed that this was targeted
to JDK 10.
We eliminated all but one use of javah, in favor of javac -h, in JDK 9
[1]. The only one remaining is in the web module. I can't remember why
that wasn't switched at the same time (I have a fuzzy recollection
that
it might have had something to do with incremental compilation), but
yes, it seems like this will need to be fixed.
If you would like to file a bug then this would be a great thing
for the
community to work on. This will block us from moving to JDK 10 as
a boot
JDK, so if we end up doing that for JDK 10 then this would need to be
done soon.
Let me know if you would like to work on this.
Thanks.
