Does JavaFX support the TIFF-format?

Question

We are considering to use JavaFX to rewrite one of our C++ desktop apps.
The app should be able to show TIFF-images though.
Does JavaFX support the TIFF-format?
The JavaFX-script below does not show the TIFF-image nor does it throw an Exception.
javafx.stage.Stage {
title : "Hello World"
scene: javafx.scene.Scene {
width: 200
height: 200
content: [
javafx.scene.image.ImageView {
image: javafx.scene.image.Image {
url: "file:/C:/temp/HelloWorld.tiff"
}
