It seems that attempts to backport OpenJFX (libopenjfx-java
) to Ubuntu 14.04 / Linux Mint 17 have stalled (see bugs below). This package is required by many projects using JDK 8, how can I install it on my system?

Binaries are not available for these older systems, but you can compile from source:
sudo apt-get build-dep libopenjfx-java
sudo apt-get --compile source libopenjfx-java
You can then install the packages by double clicking on each deb file to install:
libopenjfx-jni_8u60-b27-4~trusty1_amd64.deb
libopenjfx-java_8u60-b27-4~trusty1_all.deb
libopenjfx-java-doc_8u60-b27-4~trusty1_all.deb
openjfx_8u60-b27-4~trusty1_amd64.deb
deb-src
in (typically) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openjdk-r-ppa-trusty.list
isn't commented out.
