    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."

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

    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.
