Hi Kevin

Thanks for your prompt response. 

We were thinking about getting the code ourselves and trying to sort this 
locally. Do you think this is completely out of the question? I presume 
altering build scripts would not be a problem for us, but if there are any 
significant, possibly architectural, changes in the software itself (that 
require something RHEL 7 exclusive), then perhaps we might be barking up the 
wrong tree. Can you think of anything? Off the top of your head.

Thanks

Chris

Subject: Re: JavaFx 11 on RHEL 6

As of JDK 9, JavaFX requires RHEL 7 or later, so no, there is no support for 
RHEL 6. It would be a moderate effort to add this (mostly in the build scripts 
and particularly in the way the native media libraries are built). We have no 
plans to add this support.
