Most likely the missing keymaps are also related to you simply not having
the Java and Java EE supported enabled -- do that in the New Project dialog.

I do think we need to look at your use case, i.e., you're someone who isn't
using the New Project dialog at all, and that makes perfect sense in your
case, however it does mean that you're not being given the opportunity
(other than the obscure message about JavaFX) to enable the features you
need.
