JavaFX is not part of the Java specifications for the JDK or its runtime, so the presence of the library in any distribution of OpenJDK pretty much depends on the vendor distributing you the binaries. There are some Linux distribution that started packaging a subset of OpenJFX (in most cases few notable missing bits are the audio codecs and the webview). I don't know if the same libraries will be bundled with the GPL binary from Oracle, that's probably a question somebody from Oracle may answer. The only way I can see JavaFX becoming included by default everywhere is if it becomes part of the spec. Cheers, Mario
