          Description

          Earlier in the month we received a notification from a user that IGB was failing to build on a Debian system.

          Turns out the problem was lack of JavaFX on the system.

          To make sure others do not encounter the same problem, we should check into this a bit more. Let's clarify which versions of Java can be installed using Debian package managers versus having to download them from Oracle. Let's summarize what we find here (in this ticket) and then update the README.md on the IGB repository.

                Cause of error and failure in build occurred due to below issue
                igb-javafx-util: Compilation failure

                This package needs java fx to be present

                Testing is done on Debian 9(Stretch) using Maven: 3.6.3
                Installation of oracle java was not successful on this OS with the default packages link showing 404 error in the apt installer.
                Alternatively, I used the openjdk8 installation

                sudo apt-get update
                sudo apt update
                sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

                This package does not have javafx by default and has to be installed seperately using below command

                sudo apt-get install openjfx

                This builds the application successfully. Attached is the build details from the Debian 9 OS

                Debian 10 does not seem to have openjdk available in its default repositories.
                Below are the steps to install oracle java jdk on Debian 10.Note to the user: Ensure the right architecture package is used (either X64 java for 64 bit OS and X86 for a 32 bit OS)
                Step 1. Download the correct Java from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html

                sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm
                sudo tar -zxvf jdk-8u251-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/lib/jvm/
                sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin/java 1

                This built IGB successfully on Debian 10(Buster)

                [~aloraine] Please let me know if I should update the README.md to include the steps

                Also note
                Oracle java contains JavaFX by default
                openjdk needs an additional package to be installed

                All test performed above were on fresh Debian OS versions 9, 10
