Kevin, I did a quick survey at TeamFX and asked every member to vote. Here is the official TeamFX opinion. I hope it is of any worth for you.
Preface: Besides the ticket IDs you asked to prioritise TeamFX thinks that the top issue for JDK 9 should be performance, most notably of CSS processing. If there is one thing that holds back people from adopting JavaFX 8 for professional use cases, then it is the fact that you can quickly produce UI freezes of several seconds due to bugs and non-optimal CSS processing within JavaFX. If there would be a free voting upon features, TeamFX would replace all the below points if instead we could have JDK 9 running as fast as it could (i. e. for example create and show more than 1000 TextFields in less than a second; rotate a canvas containing 1000 complex paths fluently; and so an). Having said that, here is the summary of our survey: JIRA Ticket Votes Topic JDK-8092040 34 Implement Image writers for JavaFX JDK-8091673 30 Runtime should have a published focus traversal API for use in custom controls JDK-8090477 26 Customizable visibility timing for Tooltip JDK-8090763 22 Public API for Glass's robot functionality JDK-8089311 21 [TableCell] commit on focus lost not possible in every case JDK-8092098 21 [TabPane] Support for draggable tabs JDK-8091107 16 Add java.awt.Desktop support to javafx JDK-8144556 16 Add support to allow user specified rendering order JDK-8145443 16 [Mac] Render directly to NSWIndow rather than via CALayer for non-applet Stage JDK-8145154 16 Provide public API support for PerformanceTracker functionality JDK-8087516 15 Conditional support in JavaFX for GTK 3 on Linux JDK-8091517 7 Implement com.apple.eawt APIs that make sense in JavaFX (FX equivalent for JEP 272) Merry Christmas -Markus (TeamFX) -----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev [mailto:openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Rushforth Sent: Donnerstag, 24.
