We sure can.

A Java implementation can be fully Java SE compliant without
JavaFX.

And I think that in fact most Java 8 implementations besides
reference implementation (Oracle) comes without. IBM certainly does.

The above page is about "Java SE product". Java SE is a
specification not a product. Oracle Java SE is a product and
that does indeed contain JavaFX.
