Hi Kevin,
that's a great achievement. I have a few questions/remarks though:
1. On the announcement page I assume the license agreement should not
read
"These binaries are provided under the GNU General Public License
<http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html>."
but instead should read
"These early-access, open-source builds are provided under the GNU
General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception
<http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html>."
With or without classpath exception makes a big difference. (The
actual link is already the same anyway.)
I will get this fixed to match the JDK 11 EA text.
2. I can confirm that a simple program from the command line works
nicely on my MacBook Pro Retina but I had to add "/lib" to the module
path to get it working.
Yes, adding the javafx-sdk-11/lib to the module-path is a required step.
Thanks.

3. How do you properly configure an Eclipse (the latest 4.7.3a)
project to use this module path. Adding the OpenJDK was no problem but
how do you add the module path for JavaFX? I failed on that.

I am pleased to announce the first Early Access build of a standalone
JavaFX SDK [1]. You can download it and run it using OpenJDK 10 or an
OpenJDK 11 EA build.
If your application is in an unnamed module (i.e., your app is on the
classpath), you can run your application as follows, after unzipping
the SDK bundle for your platform.
$ java --module-path $PATH_TO_FX/javafx-sdk-11
--add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml MyApp
This assumes you don't need media or web. If you do, then add those
modules, too. Note that since javafx.web "requires transitive
javafx.controls", you can omit javafx.controls if you add javafx.web.
If you are running a modular application, then you don't need the
"--add-modules" option.
Note that this is a stepping stone to javafx modules in a repository
like Maven.
Please test your applications with the SDK and give us feedback.
Thanks.
