Frank Delporte ☛ Will OpenJDK Be Merged Into OpenJDK? It Would Be a Perfect Match with Java on Mobile!
While looking for articles for the JFX Central Links Of The Week, I found this very interesting article by Paul Krill on InfoWorld. It’s based on an October 29 post by Bruce Haddon on an OpenJDK discussion list in which he argues that the reasons for the separation of OpenJFX from OpenJDK in Java 11, more than seven years ago, are much less applicable today.
Again, some exciting developments seem to be happening in the Java world! There’s a growing discussion about bringing JavaFX back into the OpenJDK, and it couldn’t come at a better time, especially with Johan Vos and the team at Gluon working hard on making Java a first-class citizen on mobile platforms.
Let me explain what’s happening and why this could be a game-changer for the Java ecosystem.
