Bug Description

Since Fedora 27, javafx is now available in the standard Fedora repositories, so let's update our Hatch installation documents to say so!

Branch on the way.

As is, this bug will be superseded by bug #1817932, which moves the Java/JavaFX dependency fetching to a script which puts the dependencies in the Hatch directory with a well-known name. The script should be compatible across Linux flavors where 'curl' is installed.

Users are welcome to install the Fedora package instead of using the deps fetcher, but additional steps will be required to teach Hatch to talk to the installed version. I could see this bug migrating into a "how to use the installed java packages" bug, though.

Removing pullrequest pending resolution of bug 1817932.

FWIW, I confirmed on Fedora 31 that running the "./fetch-deps.sh linux && ./hatch.sh compile" method with the current version of Hatch works (as long as the branch for bug # 1858344 has been applied).

As the Debian native package info has been removed from the install documentation, I would support just closing this bug.
