That works, too. I have to admit, my troubles on Windows at the time 
were self-inflicted. I was trying to reduce my PATH to its minimum 
(shown formatted below), but I left off 'Windows/System32', which causes 
difficult and hidden errors in the JavaFX build.

$ echo $PATH
   /home/john/opt/apache-ant-1.10.12/bin
   :/home/john/opt/jdk-18.0.1.1/bin
   :/home/john/opt/cmake-3.23.1-windows-x86_64/bin
   :/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
   :/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32

I tried editing that file, too, but I couldn't get it working. It also 
has almost 80 program and SDK directory entries on its paths that aren't 
on my system at all, so I was reluctant even to start with it.

In any case, the JavaFX build on Windows is supposed to generate a 
properties file that works for your system, so something's wrong -- 
likely in the build script -- if it doesn't. I certainly understand, 
though, if a developer decides to move on and save that battle for 
another day. :-)
