Description PureTryOut 2018-03-23 15:10:20 UTC

As far as I understand, javafx is open-source and supported by OpenJDK. However, Gentoo doesn't package it and if you want to use it, you have to use Oracle's JDK. Please add a javafx useflag which either installs a subpackage or installs it as part of icedtea so users don't have to switch to Oracle's JDK.
