Dave Hill updated it recently, so it is reasonably current.
And he is always interested in suggestions/clarifications and kudos :-)
Seriously - I have several environments (virtual boxes) that I try the
procedure in, but that does not mean that I can come close to coverage of the
environments out there. So feedback is always welcome.

I would like to set up a development environment for the OpenJFX
project but have never attempted this before.
I am very familiar with all 3 major Java IDEs with my preference (in
order of most favourite to least favourite) is Eclipse, IntelliJ,
NetBeans (so whichever one is "best" doesn't really matter).
I am familiar with Gradle but by no means an expert.
My machine is a Windows 10 x64 PC.
I am only interested in building for JDK 9 and JavaFX 9 (as these will
be released before any project I am working on will go live).
I am happy to build just for Windows at this point so I can get a feel
for the project and see if there are opportunities where I can fix a
bug or two or make contributions in other ways.
So, what is the best way to build this project using the environment
and tools I have described?
Which IDE would make the process the simplest or easiest?
Is there an up-to-date web page that describes the process in
sufficient detail that will enable me to accomplish this?
Thanks very much,
John
