+1 for backport

We need to backport this to 8u-dev. 8u webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kcr/8213837/8u/webrev.00/ The patch imports cleanly into JDK 8u-dev. There is one additional file in 8u-dev (which was removed from Ensemble in JDK 10) that needs to be patched: apps/samples/Ensemble8/src/samples/java/ensemble/samples/media/alphamediaplayer/AlphaMediaPlayerApp.java The only difference between the jfx-dev patch and the 8u-dev patch is the change to the AlphaMediaPlayerApp.java file.

I can reproduce this on Windows 7 using either JDK 8u192 or JDK 11 + OpenJFX 12 ea. The problem is in reading the file over http. The following works: https://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.mp4 The following fails: http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.mp4 So the fix will be for the samples and toys to use https rather than http.

Thanks. I'll fix the copyright year before I push.

+1 Nit: you can modify the copyright year for all files in webrev (no need for another webrev)..

Note that Ensemble8 silently fails to load and play media. HelloMedia gives the following error: $ java -cp apps/toys/Hello/dist/Hello.jar hello.HelloMedia >>> Media ERR: MediaException: MEDIA_INACCESSIBLE : could not connect to media ( http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.mp4)

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kcr/8213837/webrev.00/ Simple replacement of "http://download.oracle.com" with "https://download.oracle.com" everywhere it is used.
