@thomasnield: Yes, it start/stops a TornadoFX app while the JVM is running, and it can be reloaded as you saw. The beauty here is that the app implements an ApplicationProvider service that lets the TornadoFX core know that it provides a module, so TornadoFX will detect this when the module starts, and show the app. JavaFX apps can only be started once, so TornadoFX core starts a special Proxy Application that keeps running even when the app is unloaded. This is what makes it possible to reload the app.
