How to get JavaFX and Java 11 working in IntelliJ IDEA











up vote

With the recent Java 11 release, JavaFX is no longer included in the JDK. I have an existing JavaFX project. I am interested in learning how to change it from a Java 10 project to a Java 11. I am certain I have installed Java 11 correctly, and I am able to change the default SDK from Java 10 to Java 11. What I don't know is how I might get JavaFX working with Java 11.



I have downloaded the latest JavaFX release here. I have extracted it to my Java folder which contains my other JDK's, but I really don't know what to do at this point. I have read some lengthy guides that describe how to connect a project using Maven or Gradle, but I have never used these. Is there a way to add JavaFX support in the IntelliJ menus?

    Have you seen this question? It already provides an answer for a regular JavaFX project (without Maven/Gradle, but also with Maven). If you want a short guide, check this blog post.

Download the appropriate JavaFX SDK for your operating system and unzip it to a desired location, for instance /Users/your-user/Downloads/javafx-sdk-11.




  1. Create a JavaFX project


enter image description here



Create a JavaFX project Provide a name to the project, like HelloFX, and a location. When the project opens, the JavaFX classes are not recognized.
enter image description here




  1. Set JDK 11


Go to File -> Project Structure -> Project, and set the project SDK to 11. You can also set the language level to 11. Set JDK 11
enter image description here




  1. Create a library


Go to File -> Project Structure -> Libraries and add the JavaFX 11 SDK as a library to the project. Point to the lib folder of the JavaFX SDK.
enter image description here



Once the library is applied, the JavaFX classes will be recognized by the IDE.
enter image description here



Warning: If you run now the project it will compile but you will get this error:




Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run
this application




This error is shown since the Java 11 launcher checks if the main class extends javafx.application.Application. If that is the case, it is required to have the javafx.graphics module on the module-path.




  1. Add VM options


To solve the issue, click on Run -> Edit Configurations... and add these VM options:




--module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml




Note that the default project created by IntelliJ uses FXML, so javafx.fxml is required along with javafx.controls. If your project uses other modules, you will need to add them as well.
enter image description here
Click apply and close the dialog.




  1. Run the project


Click Run -> Run... to run the project, now it should work fine.

First i started the Demo of Material Design, where you can see what things you can use etc. with the good to copy.
