Amazon Corretto JDK8 released (with?) JavaFX

[Michael Paus]

The Amazon Corretto JDK8 has now been released.

At a first glance it seems to have JavaFX on board but

if you dig a little bit deeper your will realize that this

is actually good for nothing. You can neither play

video nor audio with it and the WebView also

does not work because all the native libraries are

missing. I wonder who Amazon thinks it is doing a

favor by offering such a castrated Java version.

They should either leave JavaFX out or support it

completely. If you are still on Java 8 and want to

use JavaFX on OpenJDK, ZuluFX or Liberica (FX) are

the better choice.

Just my two (€-) cents. What do you think?

PS: This was tested with the Mac-Version.
