Speaking of which, that is my main worry about this PR: we are increasing our dependency on Gradle by adding logic inside the build.gradle file. IMHO, the size of the build.gradle is related to the difficulty of building OpenJFX. I have no magic solution though for doing this completely outside the current build system. It might be something for another issue and PR to remove the maven artifact building from build.gradle and do it in another way. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/446
