RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Andrew Mike 2019-01-25 21:58:42 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request

OpenJFX support in RHEL 8 Java

3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Customer wants the OpenJFX toolkit, an open-source version of JavaFX, included in the OpenJDK package.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
Customer needs this in order to run the DISA STIGViewer, which is dependent on JavaFX.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Customer would like RPM packages that provide the Java packages needed for JavaFX/OpenJFX support.

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

If customer and Red Hat can download and run the DISA STIGViewer (https://iase.disa.mil/stigs/Pages/stig-viewing-guidance.aspx), the requirement will be satisfied

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
No RFEs for EPEL, and none for Red Hat. The package appears to be available already in Fedora (java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx).

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
At this time, customer is targeting RHEL 8.

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
Sales is not involved.

10. List any affected packages or components.
java-1.8.0-openjdl

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Yes.

Not at all. Split into its own project. Very much alive and well. See https://openjfx.io/

For example Oracle SQL Developer requires JavaFX.

Hello, any updates on this matter? Do we need to do some testing on our side here?

This can be closed.
Comment 35 Kyle Walker 2021-09-28 12:59:36 UTC 
Based on the extended period of time since the last activity on this request, and the confirmation that closure is acceptable, I am moving this to CLOSED WONTFIX.

In the event that additional demand is identified, please feel free to reopen this request for further evaluation.
