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?
It was removed from the Oracle JDK 11 (it never was part of OpenJDK 11).
The javafx.* modules were included in jdk-11-ea+13 and gone in
jdk-11-ea+14. From the point of view of OpenJDK 11 there is no change.
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?
This came up during the review of changes I made to FXLauncherTest [1].
Alan and Mandy suggested that this functionality should be removed at
some point, but it will be an incompatible change if done in JDK 11. I
plan to file a follow-up JBS issue to consider removing this. One
possible timeline would be to "deprecate it for removal" in JDK 12 and
remove it in JDK 13.

I wanted to update you on the progress of the last couple weeks on
the
OpenJFX project:
1. As mentioned last week, we now have EA builds of OpenJFX 11 on
java.net <http://java.net> [1]. We intend to update this roughly
weekly. Currently the
build numbers match the corresponding JDK build number, but that will
not necessarily be the case going forward, so don't assume that
they are
in sync.
2. Barring any build or staging issues, this week's OpenJFX 11 EA
build
will include the jmods as mentioned earlier [2] [3]
3. JavaFX has been removed from JDK 11 as of this week. Starting with
jdk-11+14, early access builds of JDK 11 will not include JavaFX.
4. After jdk-11+14 is posted on java.net <http://java.net>, and FX
is no longer included
in JDK 11, we will start using openjfx-11 as the fix version in
JBS to
distinguish it from JDK 11. We still expect to do a release of
JavaFX 11
around the same time as JDK 11, but using a different release number
will help track the actual content of JavaFX 11 separately from
JDK 11.
5. Once this settles down, possibly later this week, I hope to
restart
the discussion about OpenJFX policies, etc. I also hope to be a
bit more
responsive over the coming days / weeks than I have been for the last
3-4 weeks. Getting the standalone OpenJFX working and removing JavaFX
from the JDK was quite time consuming as you can probably imagine.
If you have any general comments or questions about any of this,
please
reply to this thread. We may want to split out more detailed
discussions
into their own thread to make it easier to follow.
