Dirk,

According to this
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/93407/there-is-no-javafx-packages-in-openjdk-180-fedora-gnulinux/
 , there is no javafx RPM for Red Hat based systems.

The only option appears to be:  get the official Oracle 1.8 JDK.

That post is a little old, though, but I couldn't find anything to the
contrary.
