This problem can happen when using multiple instances with different jfx early access (ea) versions.
Example:
Instance 1 uses 18-ea+4 and Instance 2 uses 18-ea+1.
Instance 1 is started (and will cache and use libraries), then instance 2.
Now instance 2 detects via a hash comparison that the cached libraries are not the same as the supplied ones.
With this information instance 2 tries to delete the old libraries but fails while doing so (as instance 1 uses them currently) and will terminate right after.
The problem here is that instance 1 and 2 are using the same cache folder: **18-ea**. This is because the `NativeLibLoader` uses the `javafx.version` property for determining the folder name, which in case of an ea version will always be **18-ea** (for all ea versions starting with 18 obviously).
Fix as also mentioned in the ticket is to use the `javafx.runtime.version` property instead.
With this the folders will be named 18-ea+1 and 18-ea+4.
