javafx 8

[Kevin Rushforth]

The source for openjfx/8/master is always kept in sync with the latest 
weekly build (plus or minus a few hours depending on when the build is 
uploaded to java.net), so if you take the currently weekly build of jdk8 
and build openjfx/8/master against that jfxrt.jar in that build, it 
should work.

I just tried this and had no problems building it. Btw, the specific 
class you metioned, com.sun.javafx.UnmodifiableArrayList, was added 
several weeks ago so I suspect that yours is a different problem. Can 
you double-check that you are actually picking up the jfxrt.jar from 
jdk8-b61 ?
