libjfxmedia.so on armv6hf?

[Erik De Rijcke]

Why are there limitations on the "embedded" port of javafx to begin with?
Are there technical reasons for it?

If you think about it, "It's arm, so it's embedded. It's x86 so it's
desktop" doesn't make much sense... (atom is embedded, and there are arm
windows netbooks that are not).

Anyway, as a workaround, can't openjfx simply be compiled on an arm host
(so no cross compilation is required) and as such generate the missing
libraries? Qemu with an arm vm can be used to do that on an x86 host for
example.
