The JavaFX SDK bundle provides a set of modular jars in the `lib` directory. It
provides a `src.zip` file for use by IDEs in that same `lib` directory. If a
developer adds the `lib` directory to their application's module path in the
IDE, it will try to load `src.zip` as if it were a jar file, and will fail.
This is a pain point for developers using the SDK.
The proposed solution is to move the `src.zip` file from the lib directory to
the top directory of the SDK.
With this fix, the layout of the SDK will be:
<sdk>/
bin/ (Windows)
<native libraries> (Windows)
legal/
...
lib/
*.jar
<native libraries> (macOS and Linux)
src.zip
NOTES:
1. The JavaFX Eclipse plugin will need a minor change, which is tracked by
eclipse-efx/efxclipse-eclipse#85.
2. This still needs to be tested on IntelliJ
