Release Notes for JavaFX 20

Introduction

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.

These release notes cover the standalone JavaFX 20 release. JavaFX 20 requires JDK 17 or later.

Important Changes

JavaFX 20 Requires JDK 17 or Later

JavaFX 20 is compiled with --release 17 and thus requires JDK 17
or later in order to run. If you attempt to run with an older JDK,
the Java launcher will exit with an error message indicating that the
javafx.base module cannot be read.

See JDK-8290530 for more information.

FXML JavaScript Engine Disabled by Default

The “JavaScript script engine” for FXML is now disabled by default. Any .fxml file that has a "javascript" Processing Instruction (PI) will no longer load by default, and an exception will be thrown.

If the JDK has a JavaScript script engine, it can be enabled by setting the system property:

-Djavafx.allowjs=true
