Contribution to OpenJFX

[Richard Bair]

Hi Deepak,

This is great news! I don't know if Mario / Roman or any other RedHat engineers working on this will be at Devoxx? I'm planning on spending most of Tuesday at the Devoxx Hackergarten working on upgrading the build. Also, we should have the javafx packager (which does the native application co-bundles) open sourced this week.

Cheers!
Richard
