It’s a rarely used feature as most of the time it’s just easier to shade the dependencies in.

Oh my god I forgot that was even possible. I think its been 4-5 years since I’ve done that.

you didn’t want lots of files/folder cluttering the working directory?

I was actually for having everything be local until recently when I was convinced to use a standard home directory (system property/configurable).

Just a side note, Amazon Corretto 8 is an OpenJDK 8 distribution with JavaFX bundled.
