I think that 'openjfx bits' would *work* in EL7 & EL8, it is just that we would have to go through the pain building and maintaining it ourselves. I would like to know why RH is not interested in supporting it. I would have expected that when fedora included it that there should not have been any patent/licensing restrictions showing up, so why is RH not including it?
