Jigsaw delayed

Unfortunately it looks like Jigsaw (Java modularisation) is being pushed from Java 8 to Java 9, which means it is at least three years away.

This means co-bundling and AU will be stuck with large JRE downloads for a while yet unfortunately. 

I'm wondering of any other proposed JFX features are likely to be affected by this. In particular would the hypothetical, whispered mobile support be dependent on Jigsaw or could it theoretically move ahead anyway?

Cheers,
Dan
