javafx-maven-plugin eclipse java version

[Tom Eugelink]

It is a maven goal to start a javafx application with all the native stuff setup correctly.

I have not configured an direct Eclipse run, because that is more work with defining the native librars and stuff, while I should just be able to run the maven goal.

But apparently only on Java 11.

I'll checkout out the plugin and see what is up.
