I misunderstood what I originally downloaded from the JDK 9 General-
Availability Release page (http://jdk.java.net/9/). When Java 9 was
first released, that page had a link to the Oracle JDK, not to the
OpenJDK. Now that Oracle has released a 9.0.1 update, the OpenJDK is
different from the JDK from Oracle and is in fact missing the JavaFX
support.

So the upstream OpenJDK does not contain JavaFX support after all. It
appears from the mailing list that JavaFX will be included in some later
release.

Oracle JDK
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

$ ~/opt/jdk-9.0.1/bin/java -version
java version "9.0.1"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

$ ~/opt/jdk-9.0.1/bin/java -jar HelloWorld.jar 
Hello World!
Hello World!

Upstream OpenJDK
http://jdk.java.net/9/

$ ~/opt/openjdk-9.0.1/bin/java -version
openjdk version "9.0.1"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)

$ ~/opt/openjdk-9.0.1/bin/java -jar HelloWorld.jar
