Compiling OpenJFX 8

[Stephen Fitch]

Hi Carl,

As FYI weare getting towards the end of a major effort to allow VS2017
to be usedto build JDK 8(inc. JavaFX).

We are about to carry out some internal (to Oracle) final build runs with
JavaFX/JDK 8 and VS2017.

I'd say we need another couple of weeks to run a few builds and knock down
anyremaining issues.

I suspect waitinghere might give you something saving you time in the
long run.

I'll take the AI to get back to the yourself and the alias with news.

With OC1 next week we need a little extra time...

Regards,

Stephen
