It seems that OpenJFX should continue to be packaged separately, just like any other Java library.
JavaFX was included in Oracle JDK 8 but will be removed in JDK 11, the next long-term support (LTS) release of the JDK. See the following pages for updates on the status of JavaFX in the Oracle JDK: Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html The Future of JavaFX and Other Java Client Roadmap Updates https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/the-future-of-javafx-and-other-java-client-roadmap-updates The associated white paper has more details: Java Client Roadmap Update http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javaclientroadmapupdate2018mar-4414431.pdf The white paper includes the following items in its Executive Summary: • JavaFX new fixes will continue to be supported on Java SE 8 through March 2022 and removed from Java SE 11. • Swing and AWT will continue to be supported on Java SE 8 through at least March 2025, and on Java SE 11 (18.9 LTS) through at least September 2026. • Oracle has begun conversations with interested parties in the Java ecosystem on the stewardship of JavaFX, Swing and AWT beyond the above referenced timeframes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721852 Title: JavaFX support is in Oracle JDK 9 but missing in Ubuntu OpenJDK 9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-9/+bug/1721852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
