If Main-Class is always present with JavaFX-Application-Class, it may be no impact; but this seems to be unclear at this moment. Kevin can chime in here and looks like this requires more investigation before we continue the code review. I've read the other mails and I see that there are a number of discussion points that needs to be resolved before the proposal can move forward.

On the Profile attribute then the concern is where Main-Class is not present, in that case the JAR file isn't technically an executable JAR file and so would be considered a library JAR in the current proposal, hence different defaults so no fast-fail for FX applications.
