I was somewhat imprecise. That should have read:
We still expect to do a release of JavaFX 11 around the same time as
JDK 11, but using a different **JBS release version** will help track
the actual content of JavaFX 11 separately from JDK 11.
The JavaFX version is still 11 as reported by the value of the system
property "javafx.version" and in the names of the release bundles. No
changes are needed. We are just prefixing the release value in JBS with
"openjfx" before the "11" to distinguish it from the JDK 11 release.
After JavaFX 11, we could have a discussion on whether to make the next
version "12" or something else.

Iv'e just realized that not releasing JavaFX with version number 11
will cause confusion with all the '@since 11' tags. We could search
for all '@since 11' and replace them with the new version number
(maybe much to the confusion of users since it breaks continuity).

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 <http://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 <http://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.
