The OpenJFX source tree is separate from the OpenJDK sources, but its modules are included as input into the OpenJDK build process. For the OpenJFX source tree, see here:

Getting the Sources
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX#BuildingOpenJFX-GettingtheSources

Packaging it with the OpenJDK is described here:

Integration with OpenJDK 9
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX#BuildingOpenJFX-IntegrationwithOpenJDK9

which says:

----------
Build OpenJFX first.

Configure the JDK with the following addition:

  --with-import-modules=_path_to_openjfx/9-dev/build/modular-sdk

Then build the JDK as normal.

I built OpenJFX many times, but I have not yet tried this new procedure for including it in OpenJDK 9. I'm willing to help and try it myself if you run into any problems. I'm eager to see JavaFX finally integrated into the OpenJDK packages on Ubuntu.
