The following notes describe important changes and information about this release. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change.
As of JDK 11 the JavaFX modules are delivered separately from the JDK. These release notes cover the standalone JavaFX 18 release. JavaFX 18 requires JDK 11 or later.
The JavaFX GTK 2 library is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The JavaFX runtime issues a warning if the GTK 2 library is requested on the command line via java -Djdk.gtk.version=2.
The JavaFX runtime also issues a warning if the GTK 2 library is selected as a fallback, which happens if the GTK 3 library cannot be loaded. Application developers should avoid requesting the GTK 2 library.
See JDK-8273089 for more information.
