Webkit support in javafx
Open, NormalPublic

Description

The webkit support in javafx ( libjfxwebkit ) in the openjdk-* packages seems to be currently disabled in Solus, would it be possible to enable it?

It's occasionally needed to run external applications, I'm not sure if that is a supported use case (using openjdk from eopkg to run an external java application).

Up to Reilly if he wants to add support for this as he is the maintainer, but sounds like a good idea to me.

I'm thinking of splitting openjfx out of the openjdk-11 package and to a new package anyway. I'll probably enable it then.

FYI I'm planning on making this change after the October security release. Just so you don't think that I'm ignoring this request :)

@elusian I meant to do this in the last update but I encountered build errors that I wasn't able to figure out with the time I had available then.

No worries, I know you have a lot going on in this update, and I'm not in a hurry
