Felix,

if you'd like to ask questions about Oracle's products, please do so at 
https://community.oracle.com/welcome .

This mailing list is the not the right forum for discussions of Oracle's 
products. This mailing list is for OpenJFX development, specifically.

On a side note, spamming this list with off-topic posts could result in 
removal from it without further warning.

cheers,
