Hi Kevin, Related to point 3: what exactly do you mean with "Java FX has been removed from JDK 11"? It isn't part of the OpenJDK 11-ea13 either so I don't see the difference?
I thought references to JavaFX would be removed from sun.launcher.LauncherHelper, but they are still there. Do you know if there are plans to remove the (implicit) launcher there?
