The javapackager was removed from the Oracle JDK along with JavaFX (and
has never been part of OpenJDK). It isn't included with the standalone
JavaFX bundles, and doesn't really fit in a standalone FX release.
We are looking at the possibility of providing a replacement packaging
tool in OpenJDK.

Where does java packager fit in this?

I wanted to update you on the progress of the last couple weeks on the OpenJFX
project:
1. As mentioned last week, we now have EA builds of OpenJFX 11 on java.net [1].
We intend to update this roughly weekly. Currently the build numbers match the
corresponding JDK build number, but that will not necessarily be the case going
forward, so don't assume that they are in sync.
2. Barring any build or staging issues, this week's OpenJFX 11 EA build will
include the jmods as mentioned earlier [2] [3]
3. JavaFX has been removed from JDK 11 as of this week. Starting with
jdk-11+14, early access builds of JDK 11 will not include JavaFX.
4. After jdk-11+14 is posted on java.net, and FX is no longer included in JDK
11, we will start using openjfx-11 as the fix version in JBS to distinguish it
from JDK 11. We still expect to do a release of JavaFX 11 around the same time
as JDK 11, but using a different release number will help track the actual
content of JavaFX 11 separately from JDK 11.
5. Once this settles down, possibly later this week, I hope to restart the
discussion about OpenJFX policies, etc. I also hope to be a bit more responsive
over the coming days / weeks than I have been for the last 3-4 weeks. Getting
the standalone OpenJFX working and removing JavaFX from the JDK was quite time
consuming as you can probably imagine.
If you have any general comments or questions about any of this, please reply
to this thread. We may want to split out more detailed discussions into their
own thread to make it easier to follow.
