Creating BSS files from CSS in JavaFX 9

I'm in the progress of upgrading my project to Java 9 due to Eclipse upgrade breaking APT in Java < 9 when working with Dagger 2.

I used to generate binary css files (bss) with the following command (which worked perfectly fine until Java 9):

$ javapackager -createbss -srcdir src/main/resources/view/ -outdir src/main/resources/view/

However after upgrading to Java 9 it errors out with:

Error: jfxrt.jar needs to be on classpath for -createbss and for -createJar without -nocss2bin

Looking around I see that the jfxrt.jar is no longer present in my JDK 9 install. A google search finds JavaFX 9 - New and Noteworthy - RainFocus[PDF] where it says:

No more jfxrt.jar, it's baked into the JVM image

Has any one been able to generate bss files after upgrading to Java 9?

@jewelsea this question was asked before the linked one. – Emily L. Dec 14 '17 at 14:45
Yes, but the other had an answer with an up-vote, so I could close it as a duplicate, but couldn't do that for this one. – jewelsea Dec 14 '17 at 18:31
@AlanBateman please post that as an answer. – Emily L. Dec 14 '17 at 18:37
@jewelsea sure. It just sucks because now it feels like I got the "fail at searching"-badge, and the question will be closed even though it was the only question at the time. :/ – Emily L. Dec 14 '17 at 18:39
