javafx-maven-plugin eclipse java version

[Tom Eugelink]

Added toolchains support to javafx-maven-plugin and created a PR.
https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-maven-plugin/pull/118

So you can do:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-toolchains-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>toolchain</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<toolchains>
<jdk>
<version>${maven.compiler.release}</version>
</jdk>
</toolchains>
</configuration>
</plugin>

That will make sure the same JDK is used for compiling and javafx:run (given the PR is merged).

The easiest way to get that setup is using sdkman, install the required jdks, then also install jbang (sdk install jbang) and run 'jbang sdkman at tbee/mavenToolchains'
