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.
