No, and we don't intend to provide this.  a) I think JavaFX
development is better done using the Maven / Gradle JavaFX plugins,
and b) it's easy to tweak the configuration and run the NBPackage
command to build an installer with the runtime of your choice if you
really want this.

There is already a DEB package here without JDK.  I'm working on
making sure all the package options can also run with a system JDK out
of the box.  This would potentially offer us an alternative to the
existing NBI installers that we could distribute via ASF.  I certainly
don't think NBI is the right option in the long term, and we should be
looking to use OS native packaging options.  Lots of benefits to that
besides easier JDK bundling!

Best wishes,

Neil
