Releases are unusable

I am on a managed desktop, which means I can't install/upgrade whatever Java versions I want. Which results in:

JDK11:

And JDK1.8:

Please do your releases with a lowest common denominator JDK (which would usually mean lowest patch version of given JDK).

Hi @akamensky, the error shows that the javafx is not correctly installed on your env. The UI itself relies on it and currently there is no workaround.

[Eugene-Mark]

Thanks for the comment anyway. I'm considering to also provide a version which doesn't depend on JavaFX, please stay tuned about it.

[Eugene-Mark]

By the way, have you tried build the project from source code directly? @akamensky

[Eugene-Mark]

Closed since it's a caused by the lack of javafx on the local env.
