Java is switching from Swing/SWT to JavaFX, which is included in openjdk-8 but not openjdk-7. For software based on JavaFX it currently looks like LTS users will need to wait another year before the software can be used on official Ubuntu. Particularly for new projects this makes for an uncomfortable decision: Use current technology and have to munge the LTS installation to make use of it, switch to non-LTS releases, or develop for obsolete technology? A backport would make those decisions easier and would be appreciated.
