Reveal fails to start from a repl launched from Cursive
I found that when using JDK8, I cannot launch Reveal from a REPL started from inside Cursive, giving me the following error:
Syntax error (IllegalArgumentException) compiling . at (cljfx/jdk/platform.clj:6:5).
No matching method startup found taking 1 args for class javafx.application.Platform
However it launches fine when I start the REPL from outside Cursive and then connect to it via nrepl from Cursive.
Full repro steps are captured in this minimal repo: https://github.com/imrekoszo/reveal-zulu
I dug into this a bit and found that when starting the repl from cursive,
/Users/ikoszo/.m2/repository/cljfx/cljfx/1.7.12/cljfx-1.7.12-jdk11.jar is passed to java as part of the classpath
While if I do a -Spath in the project, I get
/Users/ikoszo/.m2/repository/cljfx/cljfx/1.7.12/cljfx-1.7.12-jdk8.jar in its place
Note jdk8 vs jdk11
The Cursive behaviour seems to be the same regardless of whether I run the repl with 'use deps' or 'use intellij project classpath'
Another difference is that all the jdk jars are explicitly passed in the classpath when running from Cursive:

Double-checked and I have the zulu 1.8 jdk configured in Project Structure.
I've seen this problem as well. I thought it was a problem with the cljfx detection stuff, but that jdk11 jar being included explains it.
This is still present as of #IC-212.5284.31 and Cursive 1.11.0-eap3-2021.2
