Note that you could still have a modern JDK with JavaFX, eg. https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?&version=java-11-lts&os=macos&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk-fx
I had to use it this year as it was the simplest way of getting some JavaFX project to run. Sounds to me that OpenFX would go hand in hand with a switch to Maven? Existing JavaFX / Platform apps could be ant-based and it's there's any build.xml customisation (and you know there will be) then the Maven switch will be non-trivial. So the question should not be how to notify users about OpenFX but how to help them on this migration path. Which, of course, it's much more work.
