a use-case where the assumption holds, that the JDK is slow being updated, but OpenJFX can be updated are projects relying on installed JDKs. Apache projects can't bundle the JDK (it contains libraries with licenses less liberal than ALv2). The JDK is hard to install with JDK methods, so it needs to be "there". OpenJFX can be installed at runtime and thus can be more or less trivially installed with JDK tools. NetBeans for example currently bundles (as in has provisions to install JavaFX with downloads from maven central) it. Before you say it, yes you can create installers, that install the JDK at runtime, but they are a PITA and running from ZIP is just convenient. Just my thoughts Greetings Matthias
