It also makes some things easier, though, and certainly smaller. It's 
easier to use an old-school Makefile with modules, and using 'jlink' can 
get a simple Hello World JavaFX application and Java runtime down to 
just 31 megabytes.

Here's my minimal, no-magic example:

https://github.com/jgneff/hello-javafx

with a simple Makefile:

https://github.com/jgneff/hello-javafx/blob/main/Makefile

and a Maven POM for use online with Maven Central or offline with a 
local Debian- or Ubuntu-built Maven repository:

https://github.com/jgneff/hello-javafx/blob/main/pom.xml
