Fwd: Official and community supported build platforms for JDK 8 and 9

[Chris Newland]

Hi Martijn,

Looks good. How about a column for whether the OpenJDK tests pass? Maybe a
date column or hg version tag so we know what version of the OpenJDK
codebase it built against?

I'm happy to volunteer reporting build status for Debian (7 & 8) if that's
useful?

One last question - for me OpenJDK is only useful when it includes
OpenJFX. I've got some Debian scripts for building both and installing JFX
into the JDK image. Happy to donate those if useful?

I saw the OpenJFX 9-dev repo was recently opened. Is part of the Adoption
group mission to promote OpenJFX?

Cheers,

Chris
