Has any consideration been made to move the Charts into s separate module?

[John-Val Rose]

So Tom are you saying that javafx.base and javafx.graphics are the only “core” modules in JavaFX?

Has that ever been officially stated or established?

How can javafx.controls or javafx.fxml not be considered core modules?

There’s not much you can do with JavaFX without controls and FXML (albeit optional) is a critical part of most JavaFX apps.
