I wonder if it is possible to test JavaFX or other Java desktop
applications with cucumber-jvm ?

Thank you for your ideas and tips if there are any.

You will need a test driver to test the application underneath Cucumber
scenario. Cucumber just provides the framework not underneath driver.

You can look at Franekestiein http://frankenstein.openqa.org/

I wonder if it is possible to test JavaFX or other Java desktop applications
with cucumber-jvm ?

I wrote a blog a while ago where I use Cucumber-JVM to verify the same
application implemented using six different interfaces. One of them is
a Swing application.
It is available here:
https://thomassundberg.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/cucumber-jvm-not-just-for-testing-guis/

The short answer is however that it is possible to test anything with
Cucumber-JVM as long as you are able to interface against the program
you want to verify. If you need to verify a web application, a tool
like Selenium might help you. If you need to validate a rich Java
client, a tool like FEST may be your friend. If you need to verify a
Web Service, tools like RESTAssured or just implementing a SOAP client
may be your friends.

Cucumber-JVM doesn't care what tools you use to verify something.
Cucumber-JVM is the driver of the requirements that must be fulfilled.
