Does jetbrains build the jre/jdk from source?
I'm looking for a jre-8+javafx that I can deploy without fear of oracle license violation. AdoptopenJDK is no good because they wont bundle (the now unsupported) javafx-on-java8. Azul Systems will, but I hadn't heard of them before today. If jetbrains were to publish such an artifact, it would make my life easier.

Azul Systems have been around for a while (over a decade) as a company. Their JRE's/JDK's are based on OpenJDK. You can find more information about Azul Systems here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azul_Systems

thanks for this @napperley thats exactly what I've done. I do hope I can shed all of my stupid reflective code that prys on private members and make my way over to java-11. But in the mean time at least im not on the hook for building the JVM myself or in violation of anyones license!
