Cannot download JavaFX plugin

For the first time in last five years I got a need to create front-end application.
Usually I am working on the back-end.
So, I clicked on the button to create a new project, selected Maven based Java front-end application and clicked 'Next'
I got the following:
[Graphical user interface, text, application, email  Description automatically generated]
When I tried to 'Download and Install' I got an error:
[Graphical user interface, application  Description automatically generated]
After that I can only cancel creation of the project.
Can someone tell me what does it mean and what to do to proceed.

I have NB 12.1 on Windows 10 Pro with OpenJDK 14.0.2

Doesn't Visa allow using google search?

This looks like it has a solution, got it through google search:

    what is the .openjfx directory/cache

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53382810/configure-openjfx-11-to-extract-its-dlls-into-a-different-user-specified-directo

And this was a total surprise to me, I've seen these files before, but I 
didn't know about this. I may need to re-examine some earlier packaging 
issues I was looking at.

I just commented on your suggestion to use NB 12.4.
I did create JavaFX project using Gluon Maven archetype, thank you.
As I said, I am not a specialist in front end and menu was confusing.
IMHO, instead of “Frontend application” in the create project menu, It shall say
something “Duke JavaFX sample”.
I do have a question however now:
When I created this JavaFX project, NB created under my home directory a hidden directory .openjfx
And placed some .dll files there.
Our security software CarbonBlack does not allow running any dlls that are not within system (Program Files folder).
What purpose are they serving?
Where these dlls are going when application is packaged and deployed?
I am developing on Windows machine, but eventually it will be running on RedHat.

Which question/s would you now like answers to? Firstly, yes, Swing is supported; secondly, yes, JavaFX is supported. No plugins are needed -- for Swing you have and always have had the Matisse GUI Builder to open Java Swing forms and for JavaFX you have the Gluon Maven archetypes in the New Project dialog.

To install something on developers workstation you need to open a ticket
and get approval, which can take weeks. Even with approval it is not guaranteed,
that you’ll be able to install.
If you’d have upgrade capability, it will be easier.

Re: Cannot download JavaFX plugin

What is it that makes you think there’s no more Swing support?

The Frontend application you appear to be trying to create is a Dukescript
application.

To create JavaFX applications, use the Gluon Maven archetypes in the New
Project dialog.

Yes, there is Swing support. Go to the New File dialog, create a new JFrame
and it will open in the Matisse GUI Builder.

No need to install any plugin for JavaFX. In the New Project wizard you’ll
find the Gluon Maven archetypes.

In more than 2 weeks I haven't received a single answer to my question below.

I did check my proxy settings and proxy connection testing was OK.
BTW, is there are no more Swing support in Netbeans?
