JavaFX 24 Early-Access Builds

These are early access builds of the JavaFX 24 Runtime built from openjdk/jfx. These builds enable JavaFX application developers to build and test their applications with JavaFX 24 on JDK 24. Although these builds are designed to work with JDK 24-ea, they are also known to work with JDK 22 and later versions.

The latest early access builds of JavaFX 24 Builds 14 (2024/10/18) are available, under the GNU General Public License, version 2,

with the Classpath Exception. JavaFX 24 API Javadocs are available too.
