title: JavaFX and OpenJDK
body: <p>I'm trying to decide whether I could switch to JavaFX for the user interface of my Java application. Most of my users would be using the Oracle JRE, which has JavaFX integrated these days. However, some are using OpenJDK (on linux). <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1927173/distributing-deploying-javafx-apps">This</a> (old) question suggests that OpenJDK deals very badly with JavaFX. According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15654271/javafx-on-linux">this</a> question, the alternative OpenJFX will only be fully integrated into OpenJDK in version 9. So my question is twofold:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is the JavaFX support in OpenJDK still so bad?</li>
  <li>If so, are there any Linux distributions that already offer an OpenJFX package so users wouldn't have to <a href="https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX" rel="noreferrer">build it themselves</a>?</li>
  </ul>
