I've been exploring the possibility of migrating to JavaFX on and off,

present in any given user's installation. If someone installs the
jre9-openjdk package on Arch Linux, for example, they don't get JavaFX.
I reported the bug below to fix this same issue for Ubuntu:
JavaFX support is in Oracle JDK 9 but missing in Ubuntu OpenJDK 9

You can comment there if you're interested in seeing support for JavaFX
be part of the default installation of OpenJDK 9 or 10 on Ubuntu. I'm
hoping it can get included in time for the next Long Term Support
release of Ubuntu 18.04 in April.
