I build several JavaFX projects with cross-builds for Windows, Mac, Linux. Note that I build the projects with Java 11, then use Java 14 packager to build the final installer. So my examples require that you set a JPACKAGE_HOME env variable that points at the Java 14 home. Anyway, here’s an example project: https://github.com/mbari-media-management/vars-query
