Testing JavaFX with Java14 preview features

[Nir Lisker]

Thanks, yes, testing on JavaFX itself.
I made these changes. I'm getting "error: invalid source release: 14" when
trying to build. These are the settings that are output during the task:

Gradle Distribution: Gradle wrapper from target build
Gradle Version: 6.3
Java Home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14
JVM Arguments: None
Program Arguments: None
Build Scans Enabled: false
Offline Mode Enabled: false
Gradle Tasks: build

This is the full error message:

error: invalid source release: 14
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use --help for a list of possible options

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':base:compileJava'.
> Compilation failed with exit code 2; see the compiler error output for
details.
