As far as I know, it is not possible to do what you suggest as JavaFX uses native libraries too. Maybe you can load them at runtime.

However, I don’t see the interest of using it while it does not support Linux and Mac OS X.

What is wrong with Java Web Start? It is a bit buggy but it works enough to deploy applications easily.
