Why not use Java 9 instead of 8? This could give your desktop app a smaller footprint (using the new modular jdk feature), so your app could start up faster.

I read somewhere that java 9 is not supporting JavaFX, I guess I could just add javafx as a dependency and it should work fine in java 9 also.

No it was removed only in JDK 11. Here's an example of a modular JDK 9 + JavaFX 9 app: https://carlfx.wordpress.com/2016/04/26/a-javafx-helloworld-...

Oh, I missed that. What is the officially sanctioned way to build GUI in Java 11 then? Swing?

They have decided to make it in a standalone package so it can evolve independently. Like xamarin is not part of .net

Its not about being supported or not. It's just an external. it's not up-to-date with java 11 https://openjfx.io/

You can also use clojure with it if you want a lisp dialect.
