Our hands are tied. We are still waiting for JavaFX to become fully open-source. The intended to be open-source OpenJFX project still contains binary blobs. When we have full access to all the source-code needed under a free software license then we may package OpenJFX. http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/getting-started.html The license used by the Oracle properitary binary builds of JavaFX and JDK 7 & 8 is problematic especially the "Oracle Technology Network Early Adopter Development License" used for the JavaFX Developer preview for ARM strictly prohibits redistribution. http://jdk7.java.net/license.html http://jdk8.java.net/license.html The general avail license used by the Oracle JavaSE JDK 7 & JavaFX binary builds allow redistribution but only in its original form thus they are problematic convert into Debian packages. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html Cheers Xerxes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
