Enhancements to 3D for JFX9?

[Robert Krüger]

I agree and we are hesitant. However, if that buys you three or more years
of time to either see if Oracle is making good decisions regarding things
we now build using private APIs as a last resort or if all (for us)
showstopping JFX bugs are fixed by then, this can be a valid option in the
real world, where you have to deliver a product as opposed to now rushing
into a decision to move to a different technology, because Java/JFX cannot
deliver now but  YMMV. It's just balancing risks on a case-by-case basis.

People with complex, successful products like IntelliJ Idea are doing the
exact same thing:
