We're too focused on JDK 9 to think about JDK 10 yet. After we stabilize
JDK 9 we'll start planning. At that time we will solicit feedback from
the openjfx-dev community to help prioritize.

Hi Kevin,
sorry for the offtopic, but as you just mentioned JDK 10, could you
please tell us what is planned for that release?
Something from the high level? New/missing features, controls, huge
bugfixes?
Googling "javafx road map" or "javafx jdk10" gives no results and
looking
through https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/projects/JDK/versions/16302 is
quite time-consuming.
With best regards,
Konstantin

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.

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.
