Will OpenJFX have a release ready in time for the Java 11 launch?

[Johan Vos]

Yes, that is the plan.

Actually, there are 2 paths:
1. create a JavaFX SDK (see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8198329
)
2. create and upload the JavaFX modules to the traditional, popular
repositories (maven central, bintray) and make sure developers can use the
API's using maven/gradle (see
https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/52)

This is imo the most important work right now, and a number of people are
working on it.

I am very positive this [both paths] will be realised before the Java 11
release date.
