I'm very glad they left Swing in as well. Talking to humans is a pretty
basic need of any programming language, and leaving Swing in there
allows for it.

Totally off-topic: does anyone find it ironic that the successor to
Swing was taken out of the JDK while Swing itself survives? Makes me
feel rather good about never having jumped on the JavaFX bandwagon.
We currently have a cross-platform desktop app in beta and the GUI is
written in Swing - packaging the app with jpackage became a whole lot
easier after we decide to remove the one JavaFX component we did use
(the chart library) and replaced it with JFreeChart.
sorry for the off-topic musing.

Java 11 does not contain JavaFX. You should use the Gradle or Maven
plugins, or use a JDK that has added the JavaFX modules (Such as the
“full” Zulu JDK from Azul).
I strongly recommend migrating away from Ant if you are refreshing
the project to use modern tools.

I have a Java application from some years ago using an old Netbeans,

and put an end to the warnings I receive when I build. I'm using
macOA Monterey and an Apple Silicon M1 macBook.
I've managed to fix all the syntax errors with help from Dr. Google
but cannot complete a build. It cannot find the executable or the
deployment library in the JDK. I've supplied the locations in the
libraries and jars list and have added the path to the Java Home
folder in /Library/... (as a side issue Netbeans cannot find the
javadocs).
I don't know what I missed and what to try next so I'm asking
for help here. First time use of this mailing list, too. The
application won't be deployed BTW. I understand the Nashorn warnings.
Path to JDK /Lbrary/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.2.jdk added to
