Wayland

[Philip Race]

As a reminder, using FFM will require all FX *applications* to specify 
--enable-native-access on the command line
Although this is likely coming to JNI soon too.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/core/restricted-methods.html

But one thing to watch out for with FFM is startup + warm up time.
I struggled a lot with that in using FFM for just one library in the 
java.desktop module.
