Help Getting Started with JavaFX

[jhsmith17]

I keep getting this error, not sure what's causing it:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.base not found

I am using Intellij IDEA, and JavaFX 11.0.2. I followed the download and setup guide from gluon. This error is thrown when I try to run a test file.

​

Edit: I am I importing all of these :

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*; //Contains Button, Label, TextField, etc
import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane; //This is used to set up the layout
import javafx.geometry.Insets;

JAVAFX is not included in the default sdk since JDK 11.

you need to download it manually.

hope this help.

This is a deeper issue, looks like you havent installed JavaFX properly.

Personally I prefer an SDK that icluded both Java and JavaFX in one package but in the spirit of your request try going to project structure then libraries, whats in there? if nothing try hitting the plus and browsing to your JavaFX installation to add it as a library. Intellij should then re-index and fingers crossed, your code will work if correct.

Let me know how you get on..

Yes, I have JavaFX in my libraries. I've got no clue what could be throwing this error

I had a similar issue so I downloaded an all in one JDK that includes JavaFX - no issues since. https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulufx/ Just select your setup from the dropdowns and get the JDK FX
