Minimum JDK policy for OpenJFX

[Chuck Davis]

I use JFX with NetBeans every day with no problems.  NetBeans 12.3 and JFX
16 on OpenJDK16....

SceneBuilder creates the dialogs.  NetBeans writes the code.  The NB JFX is
too old.  You have to update from Maven (which is, itself, still stuck on
old versions of JFX -- hasn't been updated for some time, unfortunately).

BUT, using JFX with NetBeans is not a problem here.
