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.

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately we won't be at Devoxx but I've seen the discussion going
on and is very welcomed news!

I think the native packager is an interesting challenge to include in
Linux distributions, indeed a very good starting point.

Does it depend on other JavaFX code internally or is a standalone tool?

Once we get back (we are in Toronto now) I'll write also some followup
to sync about the actual status of the build refactoring (including the
new build tool).

Also, next week we should announce the official deadlines for the Fosdem
call for papers, it would be greet if you would like submit a paper and
join us there, too!

Cheers,
Mario
