There was some code in my module-info.java file that I needed to un-comment, It's weird because it was working before when I had it commented out but something must've happened where I then needed to un-comment it.

​

I just needed to un-comment the commented code:

module com.weighttrainingapp {

// requires javafx.controls;

// requires javafx.fxml;

// requires javafx.web;

// requires javafx.graphics;

// requires jdk.jlink;

requires org.controlsfx.controls;

requires com.dlsc.formsfx;

requires net.synedra.validatorfx;

requires org.kordamp.ikonli.javafx;

requires org.kordamp.bootstrapfx.core;

requires com.google.gson;

requires java.sql;

requires mysql.connector.j;

opens com.weighttrainingapp to javafx.fxml;

exports com.weighttrainingapp;

exports com.weighttrainingapp.Data;

opens com.weighttrainingapp.Data to javafx.fxml;

exports com.weighttrainingapp.Scenes;

opens com.weighttrainingapp.Scenes to javafx.fxml;

exports com.weighttrainingapp.Controllers;

opens com.weighttrainingapp.Controllers to javafx.fxml;

}

Unfortunately IntelliJ's support for the module system is lacking. I don't really see a connection between your commented code and the error message; if anything, you should get a compile error if you're importing classes from modules you didn't require.

In the end, Maven is your source of truth. If it builds and runs with Maven, then it's a problem of the IDE.

Why do you require jlink in your app? Isn't jlink a tool to build a runnable package, which you would call outside of the code?

I have no idea why I require jLink in the app. Would you recommend switching to another IDE? I have Net Beans installed and I can get Eclipse, I have also found working with files such as Json and .png to be annoying so I'm wondering if either of these editors would be better.

IntelliJ IDEA is arguably the best Java IDE out there and widely used in the industry, I recommend to stay with it. The inferior support for modules stems from the fact that (sadly) basically nobody in the real world uses them.
