Why no JavaFX in CE ?

[medmedin2014]

If JavaFX is free and open source library, why I only found it in EE of GraalVM and not inside CE ?

hi @medmedin2014 , GraalVM EE is based on OracleJDK which includes JavaFX by default. This does not appear to be the case for all OpenJDK distros. We will look into trying to include it in the OpenJDK base we use for GraalVM CE for a future release. In the meantime, you might want to try and get the openjfx for your distro and see if overlaying it on GraalVM CE "just works".

We will not be including JavaFX in the OpenJDK builds of GraalVM.

Hi, please clarify what this mean.
Will it not be possible to create JavaFX native images with GraalVM?
Thx,

As hinted here, there's a lot of non-technical effort involved in bundling an open javafx implementation in an openjdk build. At this time, we don't have the resources for this effort.
