[jbosstools-dev] FYI: JBoss Tools / Devstudio jobs on Central CI updated to use OpenJDK 1.8 instead of Oracle JDK 1.8 - should we pull a newer version?

Just to follow up..

I spoke to Mario and Jiri. THere is currently an effort underway to get
OpenJFX into Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145303

For RHEL, OpenJFX is still a non-starter due to lack of Gradle in base.
IMO at the least we need it Fedora before we can start any RHEL
conversations for OpenJFX.
