Good evening colleagues and friends,
I’ve noticed that we lack openJFX package in the repository (Leap 42.1).
I think that would be awesome to have a prebuilt rpm (on the repo of course) so we can install and update it.
Where should I suggest to add this package?
PS: This package is missing also in packman repo.
You can do a “Feature Request” at the bugzilla https://bugzilla.opensuse.org
In the meantime, it looks like it has to be built manually
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Main
And,
I guess when this page is ready… It seems that they’ve publicly deployed the page with a warning not to use it… 
(Anyone heard of staging?)

Thank you, I’ll open a ticket soon.
I know, it seems that the only way to install openJFX is to build it from source.
Here is the bugzilla ticket (if you want to follow this story): https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991307
Its not likely (though I’d be pleasantly surprised) that there will be much to follow given the story is already unfolding here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=976102
Some further historic threads here:
After my inquiry, I checked through the java(fx) ml and skimmed through a number of circular discussions from the java and javafx camps about getting it (javafx) ready for 9’s release (circa apr/17?) and all the current problems.
Perhaps building it manually has improved, but that certainly wasn’t the case when I looked to do it (read: failed … don’t recall all the issues. You will also see that Mathias (the original bug/feature request) ran into similar difficulty).
If you’re building a relatively simple app with a JDK dependency (generally speaking, not just JavaFX), then you might take your chances with openjdk.
But, the last differences between openjdk and Orackle Java SE were related to compiling, and although the two should now be the same (or nearly so) I’d still suspect that Oracle Java SE is likely the more reliable approach. Just inspecting the diagram illustrating v.8 openjdk-devel components vs Oracle Java SE components looks different, and that’s enough for me to suspect that there might still be significant differences even if they might be rare.
