Unfortunately this is a problem with maven version 3.9.7, in which the javafx.platform property not being replaced correctly. Setting this property manually when building (i.e. -Djavafx.platform=win, or -Djavafx.platform=mac respectively) fixes this issue. See also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8131

I can confirm that also locally the build fails on windows and macos for the same reason. I have tested building with 3.9.6, which works just fine. This is also the version set in dev-ide-settings.

Seems I solved this problem within my added changes of #372.
As CI is not affected we seem to already use maven <= 3.9.6 in our regular builds but only during the graalVM setup action we have been getting the error. Since it is waste to build all modules in the matrix.os builds that just produce the native-images, I changed to only build the cli so I will now close this issue.
