Progress on Moving to Gradle

[steve.x.northover at oracle.com]

Hello again OpenJFX,

We have flipped the swtich on the graphics repository and our committers 
are now building with gradle.  It's going to be an exciting couple of 
day while we iron things out.  We are working to update the instructions 
found at https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX 
so please be patient (they are not in good shape right now but they are 
a priority).

Any contributors that are working against the open graphics repo are 
affected right away and will be part of the swirl (sorry).  Those who 
work against master will not see the changes until next Thursday.  
Probably the simplest thing to do for those working against graphics 
would be to switch to master and wait for the dust to settle.

Please be patient with us during this trying time,
Steve
