Review request for 8166242: Removal of com.sun.javafx.embed.AbstractEvents

[Alexander Nyssen]

Hi Kevin,

has there been any decision related to JDK-8166242 (Removal of com.sun.javafx.embed.AbstractEvents) yet? I was a bit busy the last weeks anyway, but I would still like to investigate JDK-8159227 (FXCanvas should properly forward consumption state of key events from SWT to embedded scene) for JavaFX-9 (the workaround for it is rather nasty). As the fix for JDK-8159227 would probably result in conflicts with the one for JDK-8166242, it would be good to know how you plan to proceed with JDK-8166242.

Best Regards,
Alexander

I note that since this does not add additional functionality, but just refactors existing functionality to be easier to maintain, we might at least consider it when/if the recently announced schedule slip for JDK 9 becomes effective.
