Hi Chris, Felix Bembrick asked this same question a while ago and after some time the response was:
------ "Hi Felix, Sorry for the delay. Most of us were still pretty focused on 8u60, but we are turning our attention to JDK 9 now. The focus for JDK 9 is Jigsaw. The currently planned big features (JEPs) for FX in JDK 9 are these: JEP 253: Prepare JavaFX UI Controls & CSS APIs for Modularization JEP 257: Update JavaFX/Media to Newer Version of GStreamer Related to Jigasw, we intend to look into new API for heavily used internal methods / classes since they will no longer be accessible otherwise. We also plan to update WebKit at least one more time, and will likely do a few RFEs such as better Hi-DPI support (with API control) on Mac, Windows, Linux. We don't currently plan any other big features for 9, but will consider additional RFEs if they are important to enough developers and if they fit into the time frame. -- Kevin" ------- -----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev [mailto:openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of Chris Newland Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 10:07 PM To: openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net Subject: OpenJFX / JDK 9 questions Hi, Please could someone briefly explain the changes to OpenJFX under JDK9 / modularisation / jigsaw? I've been trying to answer some questions about this in the London Java Community (JUG) and have added 8u40 stable binaries to my OpenJFX build server as that was requested: http://108.61.191.178/ I understand work is already happening under JEP253 to sort out the public APIs. Longer term, will OpenJFX ever become a sub-project or module in the OpenJDK repository? Is there any plan for a unified build system for OpenJDK and OpenJFX to produce a binary that runs JavaFX out of the box? Currently the gradle openZip method makes it easy to create builds that unpack into OpenJDK / Zulu JDK but this assumes a pre-Jigsaw (JRE) structure and doesn't work with JDK9. Shall I submit a bug? Cheers, Chris
