JavaFX N is primarily intended for use with JDK N and we also build and test it against JDK N-1 (which is typically what we use as the boot JDK). Anything older than that, including the proposed minimum JDK N-2 (23 in this specific case), is untested.

build.properties line 95:

gradle 8.5 does not support JDK23 so jfx.gradle.version.min should be updated to 8.10.2
