JavaFx 11 on RHEL 6

[Chris Nicholas]

Hi. I’ve been directed to forward this query to this address by Gluon support. Here’s the query:

Our company makes a desktop application in Java. We have invested quite heavily in switching our application to JavaFX over the last few years. We're now trying to switch (from Oracle Java 8) to use java 11 with openjdk and openjfx. It all seems fine except if I want to run our application on Linux RHEL 6. Then I get errors about unsatisfied links to do with glibc version, while trying to initialise the graphics. We've reached out to our customers and those that run linux are pretty much all still on RHEL 6 and have no plans to move. I've looked about on the internet and can't find any solution to this problem. Are there any plans for addressing this in future versions of openjfx?

Let me know if you need anything more.
