Eventually we should fix all our warnings, and we have a task filed to track that, but even then I think the limit is too small.

build.gradle line 4262:

> 4260:     options.addStringOption("-since-label").setValue("New API since JavaFX 9")
> 4261:     options.addStringOption("Xmaxwarns").setValue("1000")
> 4262:     options.addStringOption("Xmaxerrs").setValue("1000")

would it make sense to treat warnings as errors?  at least once we fix JBS-TBD to fix all the warnings?
