I was trying to compile OpenChrom according to https://wiki.openchrom.net/index.php/Development using the Eclipse IDE. A major pain was the JavaFX dependency, which just doesn't exist in openSUSE at all. Purging SUSE's OpenJDK and installing Oracle Java was ultimately the only solution. For Fedora/Mageia and Debian/Ubuntu you can simply install openjfx packages from the repositories. I tried packaging it myself: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Mailaender:branches:Java:packages/openjfx but pretty much failed early as openSUSE is missing the gradle and the whole xmvn infrastructure so dependencies can't get packaged and resolved. I would like to fill this gap for SUSE to scratch my own itch, but I need some help here.
