JavaFX links of the week for March 18th-24th 2023
Important message in the release notes: "JavaFX 20 is compiled with --release 17 and thus requires JDK 17 or later in order to run. If you attempt to run with an older JDK, the Java launcher will exit with an error message indicating that the javafx.base module cannot be read."

Is this UI doable with only Java Swing?

Compile javafx jar
JavaFX 17 requires at JDK 11 or later (release notes), so the short answer is that you can't do this.

WebFX - A JavaFX to JavaScript application transpiler. Write your WebApp in JavaFX and WebFX will transpile it in pure JS.
JavaFX has been open-sourced after Oracle dropped it, and it's still in active development (they just released version 19 a month ago, see https://openjfx.io and https://github.com/openjdk/jfx). Also Gluon (https://gluonhq.com) made the toolchain to compile it into native apps for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android & iOS. So with now WebFX compiling it to the web, you get a fully cross-platform UI toolkit that lets you target all major platforms (Desktops, Web, Tablets & Mobiles) from a single Java code base. That's why I think it is interesting, especially for Java developers.

What Are Senders Good For, Anyway?
Java has things like Jabel that let you use modern Java syntax and compile down to Java 8 for compatibility reasons.

This is useful commercially, but also nice when building Minecraft mods for older versions of Minecraft.

How to use different Java versions for src/main/java and src/test/java in Maven
As for Java bytecode, you assume the differences are significant while in reality, they are not, as explained by the Jabel project:

What's new in Java 18 for us, developers ?
If you want to use new language features (pattern matching, string templates, records etc.) then I highly recommend to take a look at https://github.com/bsideup/jabel

What version should new Java libraries be written in?
I've never heard of somebody sticking to 9 or 10 as their primary JDK. AFAIK most people who could update waited for the 11 LTS. The rest of us are just stuck on 8. But we have some nice tricks.

Is it possible to any jre under 16 to recognise class ver 60 ?
https://github.com/bsideup/jabel - lets you use new Java syntax, because things like pattern matching are just syntatic sugar and dont change the class file specification

Eclipse Compiler supports -source 16 -target 8
I've found about the Jabel that tried to enable this feature in the Javac compiler.
