ValidatorFX announcement

[Robert Lichtenberger]

No offence taken and I can fully understand any doubts you have JFX. To
label it (and any C++ GUI toolkit) unproductive however seems exaggerated
to me. After all, we've been using JavaFX in production (medical software)
for years now (using Java 8 and Java 11+ ...).
JavaFX is (and should be) a GUI Toolkit. Together with a JDK it can be used
to produce quite nice looking applications that will run on many platforms
and are not distinguishable from "native" binaries, which (from a UX
experience) seems to me far better than executable .jar - Files.

If you have a .jar File you wish to execute, I suggest you continue using
Java / JavaFX 8. You may try running it with a brand new Liberica JDK (
https://bell-sw.com/) which still contains JavaFX within the JDK although
the common consensus is that JavaFX should these days really be separated
from the JDK.

If you are in control of the source code of this piece of software I
suggest you take the leap and port it to Java 11+. I've done that with our
applications.

HTH,
Robert
