Build farm for OpenJFX (on ARM)

[Chris Newland]

Hi Martijn,

I have "Role: Observer" for Adopt OpenJDK and I don't see any edit buttons
so guess I'm not permitted ;)

There's already a very good wiki for OpenJFX here
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX so maybe
Adopt should link to that?

Mani's been chipping away at the hurdles to get OpenJFX working on the
Adopt CloudBees but we're stuck on a darned Fedora/freetype dependency at
the moment so I've put this personal VPS together as a stop gap.

I've pushed a little JavaFX benchmark framework to do some performance
measurements https://github.com/chriswhocodes/DemoFX and have found one
possible perf bug for which I'll submit a patch if confirmed.

Hopefully this little framework will lower the bar for people to play with
JavaFX as you just need to implement a single render() method.

Maybe I could do a JavaFX demoscene hacking tutorial at the next
Hack-the-Tower meetup?

Cheers,

Chris
