JavaFX tunable in idea.properties?

Answered

Hi all - 

I'm using IDEA on FreeBSD 13. The bundled Markdown plugin doesn't provide a preview; e.g. "There are no available preview providers." I'm using OpenJDK11, as there are currently some problems with using the JetBrains' runtime (see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-277106).

There is an OS package for OpenJFX that installs to `/usr/local/openjfx14`, and similarly to how I handle the filewatcher, I was curious: is there a property I could add to my idea.properties file that would expose the system OpenJFX to IDEA?
E.g.:
```
# add fsnotifier
idea.filewatcher.executable.path=/usr/local/intellij/bin/fsnotifier

# add openjfx
idea.javafx.executable.path=/usr/local/openjfx14/lib/javafx.web.jar
```
I'm grasping at straws: the deprecation of the Markdown Navigator plugin has left me with significant gap in terms of Markdown editing (and previewing).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Best,
Bridger

Markdown preview uses JCEF (Chromium browser based component for Java). It's not available in runtimes other than JetBrains Runtime.

Serge - thanks for the response. Maybe I'll be able to use the JBR soon (fingers crossed).
