Oracle issued this sad, frustrating and almost depressing statement today:
https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/the-future-of-javafx-and-other-java-client-roadmap-updates
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javaclientroadmapupdate2018mar-4414431.pdf
Forget the "yay this is an exciting moment" of the blog post and read the
details in the white paper: basically it seems all client technologies
(WebStart, AWT, Swing, JavaFX...) are going to die sooner or later.
I'm not sure what it implies for the long-term development of JOSM, but
nothing good I fear.
