Building OpenJFX with errors: ANTLR missing

[Kevin Rushforth]

Hi Tobias,

If you follow the steps as listed in my e-mail, and ensure that both the 
"master" and "master/rt" repos are up to date with the latest changes 
from the openjfx repos, then it should work.

Can someone else verify whether this is the case?
