Building OpenJDK 9 and OpenJFX on Debian

[Ludovic HOCHET]

Hello Chris,
I've tried your script on Ubuntu 14.04.
It runs fine, though I have a few comments:
1. if either of the builds fails it will continue
2. I think lines 54-59 are redundant with what is done in get_source
3. Isn't line 102 overwritten by line 117?

Best Regards,
Ludovic
