JFXDemos

A collection of demos for JavaFX. These demos showcase some of the best open source third-party libraries available for JavaFX that can run on Java 11 and JavaFX 17. The demos can be built as a modular application, a custom moular runtime with JLink, a non-modular fat executable jar, or as a non-modular native application using GraalVM Native Image.
