Yes. Oracle's goal for Java is to monetize it by reducing maintenance by divesting components to the community and focusing on the components that big organizations use (so they will pay for them). JavaFX was one of the many components that was spun out to the community and now lives as OpenJFX (https://openjfx.io/ https://openjfx.io/). JavaFX would have replaced Swing had it not been for Oracle's change of direction.

  >> "OpenJFX is a project under the charter of the OpenJDK." Many committers are Oracle employees. Yes, but while Oracle employees may contribute to OpenJFX development, JavaFX is not an officially supported Oracle product (beyond legacy support of old JDK versions): "Do I need a separate support contract for JavaFX? No. JavaFX is part of the technologies covered under Oracle Java SE Subscription. As of JDK 7u6 JavaFX is included with the standard JDK and JRE bundles. Note that for JDK 11 and later JavaFX is no longer included the JDK but remains available as a third party library from other vendors."
