I have summarize my "research".

1. It is not possible use Ant. I must use a mambo-jambo (a new
 language for Gradle, new tools and mabye sign in to some
 repos/services) AND again learn n-th time how to write "Hello
 world" (no more EDT, a rather stupid assumption that the app ==
 window, dozen objects before a single window will be created, no
 chance to migrate with existing code).

2. Apache Netbeans+JDK8+JavaFx - no fun - the Fx examples does not
 work at all.

3. There is no good tutorials on JavaFx. Most tutorials is on old
 versions like 9.

4. The vendor lock - the only free avaliable versions are buggy -
 for example 11.0.2 is buggy, the updated 11.x.x are non-free (no
 avaliable compiled libs).

5. And last but also important - there is exactly one entusiast of
 JavaFx - You. Nobody else answered on pros Fx.

Actually Swing is rather... mature... old... maybe obsolete. But
 usefull. Java Fx is like BR discs - superior but useless. (Yep, I
 have a BR drives/recorders etc. But - with the 8K, fibers,
 terabyte pendrives - I don't use Bluray anymore.)
