8 years ago Hi Russell,
Did some investigation into this at the AdoptOpenJDK hackday.
My best read on this is that GroovyFX / JDK9 issues are due to Oracle dropping support for the JavaFX SceneBuilder.
SceneBuilder has been picked up by Gluon: http://gluonhq.com/gluon-supports-scene-builder/ and http://gluonhq.com/open-source/scene-builder/
Unfortunately it's not a drop-in library replacement and the old SceneBuilder API no longer exists (Gluon do provide a SceneBuilder "Kit" download for API access) so I think there's some refactoring needed for GroovyFX to work in a post JDK9 world.
Source code for the Gluon SceneBuilder work is https://bitbucket.org/gluon-oss/scenebuilder
I think https://twitter.com/johanvos is the guy to speak to about this.
The following classes are in GroovyFX 8 but not in GroovyFX 9:
javafx.scene.NodeBuilder com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser com.sun.javafx.css.Stylesheet javafx.scene.paint.RadialGradientBuilder javafx.scene.paint.RadialGradientBuilder com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser javafx.scene.paint.LinearGradientBuilder com.sun.javafx.css.Stylesheet javafx.scene.paint.LinearGradientBuilder javafx.scene.chart.XYChartBuilder javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayerBuilder javafx.scene.NodeBuilder javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayerBuilder javafx.scene.SceneBuilder MediaPlayerBuilder SceneBuilder
