[shirish शिरीष]

Package: openjfx
Version: 8u111-b14-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
openjfx stamps out at 8u111-b14-1

> aptitude show openjfx

Package: openjfx
Version: 8u111-b14-1
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Priority: optional
Section: java
Maintainer: Debian Java Maintainers
<pkg-java-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 74.8 k
Depends: libopenjfx-java, openjdk-8-jre
Description: JavaFX/OpenJFX 8 - Rich client application platform for Java
 JavaFX/OpenJFX is a set of graphics and media APIs that enables Java
developers to design, create, test, debug, and deploy rich client
applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms.

Homepage: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/

whereas openjdk has version 9 as well -

> java -version

openjdk version "9-Debian"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-Debian+0-9b151-2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-Debian+0-9b151-2, mixed mode)

> apt-cache policy openjdk-9-jre

openjdk-9-jre:
  Installed: 9~b151-2
  Candidate: 9~b151-2
  Version table:
 *** 9~b151-2 100
        100 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Looking forward to see the package which works with version 9.

While openjdk 9 would be available around the middle of the year from
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/

If openjdk 9 is being provided in sid to test out things, it makes
sense to also provide openjfx for that as well.
