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.

My 2c,
