Possibility of using preview features(StableValue) in java.desktop module

[Philip Race]

I just saw https://openjdk.org/jeps/526

"This API first previewed inJDK 25 
<https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/25/>viaJEP 502: Stable Values 
<https://openjdk.org/jeps/502>.
Based on experience and feedback, we here propose to revise and 
re-preview the API inJDK 26 <https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/26/>."

Seems to me we should wait for that to be integrated.
