Details

Per the building guide in the openjdk wiki ( https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX#BuildingOpenJFX-IntegrationwithOpenJDK9 )
it seems like the jdk9-openjdk package (or maybe the jre9-openjdk) is missing the openjfx module and that the java-openjfx package is irrelevant as jdk9 need to import the openjfx module during compilation.

I followed the wiki to compile openjfx 9+181 module against jdk9 but it failed, so I didn't even get to rebuild jdk9 with the imported openjfx module.

I'm not well versed in java to further debug this.
This task depends upon

OpenJFX is a separate project. With OpenJDK9 we now need a new package (something around java9-openjfx) while renaming current java-openjfx to something such as java8-openjfx.

I unfortunately do not have much time nor interest in it. FYI, user Wget [0] recently contacted and let me know he would look into writing the PKGBUILD (and maybe also using names such as openjdk9-openjfx to reflect its bind to packages {jre,jdk}9-openjdk).

Yes, I'm currently refining all the openjfx dependencies. This is not a trivial task, because I need to modify the classpath and maybe fix this properly in the archlinux-java command.

At the risk of getting ripped apart:

The java-openjfx files are now served from openjfx.io
The reason java-openjfx has now become of particular interest is because oracle jdk11 does not ship with javafx anymore, and therefore needs this. Furthermore oracle has significantly changed its licensing to extremely limited terms, making development with openjdk/openjfx 11 so much more interesting.
Any chance that this could get updated to the latest openjfx?
