Hi,

is it possible to get a clear statement on whether it will be possible to package a JavaFX application with the new packager in a similar way as it is possible right now with the old packager? The texts are a little bit vague there. I just don't know whether it is possible to create a packager which does not know anything about the GUI framework which has been used by an application.

I would also like to express my concerns about the schedule. The next Java release (11) will be an LTS release and that means that there will not be any packager for all those people who will have to stick with this release for a long time. This is a huge step backward for Java because there is then no good deployment technology anymore for a long time.

I just sent an email to the core-libs-dev alias [1] proposing a new Packaging Tool as a replacement for javapackager. If you are interested in this JEP, you can follow and participate in the discussion there.
