No, I don't have anything further to add about WebGL, if that's what you
are asking.
As for moving to Blink, that would be a very large effort. We do not
currently plan to do this for JDK 10, but could reevaluate it in the
future if something changes.

Any comments on this? Isn't it time to move to Blink?

Thanks Kevin.
I was more curious as to why WebGL support hasn't been there since day 1, given
that WebKit itself supports it.

It was an issue of resources versus priority and scope. JDK 9 is focused on Jigsaw
modularity and a few other minor features. It is more of a "smoothing out"
release than a big feature release (except for Jigsaw). We expect JDK 10 to be a somewhat
more feature-oriented release.

Do you mind if I ask what the rationale behind such a decision is?
From an admittedly perhaps totally ignorant outside observer, it would seem to me that
any cost/benefit analysis would basically put this feature in the "no brainer"
category and should have been implemented at the very least since JFX 8.

No. WebGL support is not planned for JDK 9. We will look at this for JDK 10.

Will this new WebKit finally support WebGL?
Just by supporting WebGL in the JavaFX WebView will instantly enable an entire new set of
3D features and access to a plethora of JavaScript 3D libraries for "free".
And, Google Maps will finally work too.

All,
As a heads-up, we plan to push an updated WebKit to FX 9-dev early next week
[1]. If there are no build problems, they will be integrated to 9 master the
following week for jdk-9+119. We then plan to backport the newer WebKit (to
keep them in sync) to 8u-dev a couple weeks later.
The only new tool needed to build this is CMake [2] version 3.4 or later (we
will use 3.4.1 to build).
Let me know if you have any questions.
