That one, as mentioned in the wiki build guide. I get an immediate

fine: I can set it as the default JDK, run Netbeans, set the project

Ah, I see. You didn't say what version of gradle or JDK you were using,
but this looks like a known problem in trying to run gradle with JDK 11.
See:
https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/4860
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8199069
This is marked as fixed in gradle 4.8-rc1, but I haven't confirmed this.
And could the new standalone modules be integrated with the source
code somehow so that a JDK without JavaFX support can be compiled?
Not sure what you mean, but you can use an OpenJDK without modules +
the JavaFX standalone modules to build and run your program.
It's an option, sure. My problem with it is that it creates so much
unnecessary disk usage because each bundled application requires it's
own copy of JavaFX. If you had 10 standalone JavaFX applications it
would be 1GB easily if they where all modular projects, which are
around 106MB for me. Creating an app bundle using classpath is around
200MB(post JDK 8 was 250+ IIRC).
One option for you would be to use jlink to create a jre image that
includes the javafx modules. This week's openjfx-11-ea+14 build will
have a jmods bundle that you can use for this purpose.
As I wrote before and am still having issues with, after a
successful first compile, JavaFX no longer compiles in Arch Linux
for me. Any attempt to do so results in a bunch of warning
messages(see: https://pastebin.com/rJqu7Nws) which cause the build
to fail due to warnings being treated as errors(Should they even be
ignored?). In addition. I'm now getting a GCC warning about XIMProc
returning an int when it should return void (*). I don't know C or
the native APIs so right now I'm at a loss of what to do besides
trying to compile on another distro - which is something I *really*
would prefer not to have to do.
What gcc version are you using? And what Linux distro?
8.1.0 and Arch Linux(Antergos which is basically Arch Linux).
That's not a distro I'm familiar with, but it may or may not be related
to the issue you are seeing. The gcc errors may be related to compiling
with a more-strict 8.1 compiler; we have tested with up to gcc 7.3, but
nothing newer than that. A quick look suggests that we will need some
way to suppress that warning. For now, you can modify
buildSrc/linux.gradle and remove the "-Werror" flag from
LINUX.glass.glassgtk2.ccFlags (ditto for gtk3).
