JavaFX 11 snapshots in maven sonatype

[Johan Vos]

That is a known issue indeed, but I think it should be fixed in Gradle. We
can't easily upload all platforms using the same snapshot version, unless
I'm missing something?

We ran into this before, when working with nd4j SNAPSHOT versions on
gradle. We "fixed" it by applying own plugin code, e.g.
https://github.com/javafxports/javafxmobile-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/org/javafxports/jfxmobile/plugin/JFXMobileConvention.groovy#L61

It is very inconvenient, so if you know an easy way to get all snapshot
version to be equal, I would love to hear that. But still, if other
libraries don't follow that approach (e.g. nd4j) it still means gradle
can't be used (unless you apply the "snapshotlocal" fix as in the above
link).

I really hope this can be fixed, as I loved gradle (less typing), but this
issue is the reason I had to revert to maven.
