Description
We need to ensure that the openjfx/jfx-dev/rt repo documents the version of compilers and other platform tools that are used to build the FX releases. It needs to be in the repo so that changes to the tools are tracked along with the source code. Note that the JDK does this with the jib configuration.

Related to this we might also want to document the minimum OS and compiler versions for each platform needed to build the default SDK (without media and webkit) and the full SDK (including media and WebKit) as a convenience for developers.
Comments
Changed issue type to enhancement since this will be used by production builds.

Currently, the additional tools are: gradle 4.8 ant 1.10.5 (after JDK-8219541 is integrated) cmake 3.13.3 JDK 12 (after JDK-8221097 is integrated)

The current versions of the compilers are: * MSVC- 2017-15.5.5 on Windows * GCC 7.3.0 on Linux * Xcode 9.4 on MacOS The README file should also include the versions of gradle, ant, cmake, etc., that we use.

The JDK equivalent for this is: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/tip/make/conf/jib-profiles.js We don't have an equivalent tool to jib, so we will likely just document it in a README file, but we could consider adding it to build.properties so build scripts could read and process it.
