This is great Tobi, thanks! I'm a bit confused though - seems to be mixed messages on the need for the 78 backport?
Danno, since Niklas is saying we need the backport, what steps do we need to take to get this working? I also don't understand Tobi's comments below about not using the android jdk. What is it that's not working, and isn't jfx suppose to run on android as well?
