Is it wise to use JavaFX 18 with JDK 17?

[Kevin Rushforth]

Given that JavaFX is unbundled, and that JavaFX N released at or 
slightly before the JDK N, you can always use JavaFX N with JDK N-1 or 
later.

We haven't bumped the minimum JDK version needed to run JavaFX for quite 
some time, which as noted, remains at JDK 11. I expect we will change 
the minimum to JDK 17 at some point in the not-too-distant future, in 
order to take advantage of JDK features added between JDK 12 and JDK 17.

As for how to know which version of JDK a particular version of JavaFX 
runs on, check out the release notes for that release. Here is the one 
for JavaFX 18:

In the Introduction you will see "JavaFX 18 requires JDK 11 or later."
