Hi @jreznot,

I found the following in debug log:

[DEBUG] Goal: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile)

The compile goal cannot be fixed with JavaFX 17 artifacts. Unlike Gradle, Maven doesn’t allow to override the behaviour of an existing goal. If you read the description my fix which went in 0.0.7, we have only fixed compilation when it is called in conjecture with javafx:run goal.

Unless someone has a better idea, I am afraid, maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile cannot be fixed until the next JavaFX release i.e. 17.0.1 😦
