Yes, this is the right list for discussing the impact of your proposed
change on JavaFX applications. I added a comment to that affect in the
PR, essentially saying that this PR cannot go in as proposed for JDK 16,
since it will cause a behavioral regression and will break some existing
JavaFX applications. If it is done, it will need to be done carefully.
Can you say more about the reason you are proposing this change? The
stated reason in the bug report is to allow the JavaFX modules to be run
on the classpath, which is not a supported use case. There might be
other reasons to get rid of the special case logic used to launch JavaFX
applications, which can be discussed.

Hi!
I was unable to add the openjfx to the PR on github and was unsure which
other mailing list is right for discussing this change, hence I am sending
it here. If this is the wrong mailing list, pardon me and kindly point me
in the right direction.
The related pull request is https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/978 and the
webrev is available at

Thank you.
