Alexander is going to have to go off and be distracted from the pure Wakefield project focused on AWT in order to help Java FX catch up.

Because FX is going to have the same problem that we have had with the JDK.

We're not going to be able to run FX on upcoming distros unless we actually fix this.

And that will be right after the fork. I already mentioned that in two weeks.

But I, I think 95% of what it shouldn't be anything like as hard to do as what Alexander had to do for AWT.

I think it should be mostly lift the code, move it over here, drop, integrate, hook things up.

So it shouldn't be too bad. I think all the hard learning has been done.

Alexey:

We discussed the high DPI support for XWayland with Nikita.

And based on our experience, we decided not to port it to OpenJDK, because it works in some cases, but in general that approach doesn't work well.

And we have a lot of regressions and we fix them.

And we decided to fix those problems and just move forward.
