OpenJFX (OpenJDK JavaFX implementation)

JavaFX is becoming more and more fundamental to Java ecosystem, especially with Java 8.

We should make a package.

I actually need javaFX for a class I am taking. This is very important. +1 for this suggestion.

Re: OpenJFX (OpenJDK JavaFX implementation)

I have successfully build openjfx. All you need to do is download "gradle-1.8" (yes it must be 1.8) and run:

$ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt openjfx
$ cd openjfx
$ <path_to_gradle_1.8>/gradle

Then you will have the generated files in the "build" directory.
I'll try making a PKGBUILD but I know nothing about it, yet.

I have created the 'openjfx' package in AUR. It does need some polishing but it works. Only for amd64 though.
