I reported a bug on Launchpad last week for the missing JavaFX support in the Ubuntu OpenJDK package.

For details, see "JavaFX support is in upstream OpenJDK 9 but missing in Ubuntu OpenJDK 9" (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-9/+bug/172...).

this is why you package the whole JVM with it. This leads to a native executable without any dependencies (e.g. IntelliJ products)
