This is true for building the JDK 8u. I note that if all he is trying to
do is build FX 8u, it already builds with VS 2017. The problem was he
was building FX 8 GA when what he wanted was FX 8u191. I just sent a
pointer.

Hi Carl,
As FYI weare getting towards the end of a major effort to allow VS2017
to be usedto build JDK 8(inc. JavaFX).
We are about to carry out some internal (to Oracle) final build runs with
JavaFX/JDK 8 and VS2017.
I'd say we need another couple of weeks to run a few builds and knock
down
anyremaining issues.
I suspect waitinghere might give you something saving you time in the
long run.
I'll take the AI to get back to the yourself and the alias with news.
With OC1 next week we need a little extra time...
Regards,
Stephen

Hi,
Kevin R. replied to an email I put to the list about compiling with
Visual
Studio 2017. I'm not very good with Mercurial and thought 8.0b132
was the
most current JavaFX 8. What tag, branch, or repo would I use to
compile the
version of JavaFX 8 closest to what just shipped in Oracle's JDK
1.8.0_191.
I'll probably make more headway with the current Microsoft tools and
a more
recent version.
Thanks,
Carl
