There is a separate thread about this: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/openjfx-dev/2018-September/022527.html It seems we are moving to a consensus where we use existing JDK versions as long as there are no new API's/VM changes that really benefit JavaFX, however the "guaranteed" required version for JavaFX N would be Java N or Java N-1. > We would probably target the Java 11 because it is LTS.

See https://gluonhq.com/javafx-11-release-and-support-plans/ for commercial support for JavaFX 11 LTS. Basically, you have 3 options: 1. Move along with the latest and greatest JavaFX releases (free) 2. Stick with a given release (free, unsupported) 3. Stick with an LTS release and get commercial support to get updates - Johan
