Standalone JavaFX FXML app with nashorn scripts for event handling - no java code!
In nashorn openjdk repository http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/nashorn,
there is a script called "fxmlrunner.js" in the "samples" directory. This script can accept any FXML file as command line argument and "run it". If that FXML file has event handlers written in (nashorn) javascript, then we can have complete runnable application without having to write any Java code!
When I came across this FXML example https://github.com/halcat0x15a/calculator/blob/master/src/calculator/calculator.fxml, I wanted to replace Java event handling + actual calculator implementation with nashorn scripts. The "ported" FMXL+nashorn script app. uses nashorn scripts for action handlers and uses "eval" to implement calculator back-end.

Now, you can the app with the following command:
jjs -fx fxmlrunner.js -- calc.fxml
You should see a calculator app window that looks like this:

I'm unable to start the example, I get this error:
Caused by: jdk.nashorn.internal.runtime.ParserException: fxmlrunner.js:1:0 Expected an operand but found <
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
If you did a "save" on that fxmlrunner.js link, most likely you got a HTML file back from the openjdk server. I suggest you view the fxmlrunner.js script in your browser and cut-paste the content as a text file.
