As a reminder, using FFM will require all FX *applications* to specify
--enable-native-access on the command line
Although this is likely coming to JNI soon too.
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/core/restricted-methods.html
But one thing to watch out for with FFM is startup + warm up time.
I struggled a lot with that in using FFM for just one library in the
java.desktop module.

Sorry, we bumped to Java 21 in JavaFX 22 I think since we preserve the

I think that we'll be able to bump to Java 25 in JavaFX 25, like
we did with 21. I suggested initially to bump to Java 22 exactly
for FFM as it's very useful for JavaFX, but was told we shouldn't
since it's not an LTS version.
I have no idea how long the work on Wayland will take including
the code review (a rather long process), but you should be able to
request code reviews with FFM and have it ready for integration by
Java 25.

I was just experimenting, but it seems to be less work than
going with JNI.
If I am correct, the next Java LTS will be 25, which will be
required on JavaFX 29 to be released on September/29.
It's 7 years - that's really too much.
Maybe it's still worthwhile to prototype using FFM and then
port everything to JNI.

the minimum version of the JDK is 21.
