@crschnick I only just noticed that you didn't have GitHub Actions enabled for your personal fork of the jfx repo. Fortunately, this is a trivial enough fix that there will be no problems (I built and tested it myself, so I know it works). If you plan to submit any more PRs, please enable GitHub Actions workflows for your personal fork.

@kevinrushforth @andy-goryachev-oracle @Maran23 We should let this be a reminder to us (especially to me!) to check that a GHA test build was run before approving a PR.
