Ah, that sneaky dot. Thanks!

Well, you know, I managed to eliminate it. Thanks!

You are right, javafx builds with Gradel. I basically replicated gradle
stages, by inspecting ./gradlew build ... --info

The reason I didn't start building any helpers is because OpenJFX 8u and OpenJFX 9u or later use different instuctions as it states here [1]. I don't know if these helpers will apply to 9u, also having a (gnu build gradle) would eliminate the need in helpers as well. In any case I think it won't be a problem to do that with a second iteration of openjfx build.
