I made a minimal PR at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2135
This would stop the immediate issue of the dialog not being
cancellable, but still isn't ideal, causes regressions elsewhere and
is not uncontroversial! :-)  Any thoughts on the right approach for
12.0 this late in?!

IMO, we should never have allowed JavaFX to become required rather
than recommended for Java enablement in 11.3.  Seems borderline
against ASF rules to me.

The addition in 11.3 for the above has the unfortunate side effect of
forcing nb-javac installation in a lot of scenarios, and given that
won't support Java 14 and other things have gone in to stop it being
recommended when running on Java 14, this negates all of that.

I don't know if others agree this is a blocker, and it's up to Eric in
the end, but I would personally certainly -1 the release with this
behaviour as is.

Best wishes,

Neil
