Is there an easier way to "fix" a control instead of building everything (i.e., java, native, etc.)?

[Paul Furbacher]

I want to investigate fixing what I consider a bug or deficiency in a particular control in the easiest manner possible. 

Initially, I thought to just build everything, but that hasn’t worked because I run into an issue with native compilation, notably in “:graphics:ccMacGlass”.

Instead of battling gradle to build the whole shebang, it seems to me it would be much quicker to simply patch an existing distribution. Browsing “build.gradle”, nothing jumps out at me.

Is it possible to just patch a published distribution with a “fixed” javafx.controls jar? 

(Leave jmods out of the picture for the moment because I’ll initially use javafx on the classpath. If my idea of a fix pans out, then I’d proceed with filing a bug report with suggested changes, and maybe doing a pull request — that’s for later.)

If that’s not possible, I might be back here asking for help diagnosing what’s causing clang to finish with a non-zero exit value
