OpenJFX in a post-Jigsaw world

[Chris Newland]

Update:

I enquired about OpenJFX / OpenJDK integration on jigsaw-dev and received
the answer that OpenJFX will be modularised and integrated with the JDK in
time for JDK9.

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-September/004460.html

For me this is a positive development for JavaFX.

Fyi, the JDK9/openZip issue was accepted as
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134725

Regards,

Chris
