Hi Jan, will try...
I wanted to try the new JavaFX SDK 11 which provides JavaFX as JPMS modules. I created a default Java Application (Ant based NetBeans project) using an OpenJDK 11 build. Then I added the jar's to the classpath (not the module path) and created a simple main class extending from javafx.application.Application. Everything compiles fine, but running the application fails with: Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application This seems due to the fact that my main class is living on the module path not on the classpath - as you can see by investigating the ant output: Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: Executing '/Users/sven/tools/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java' with arguments: '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '-Duser.language=en' '-classpath' '/Users/sven/tools/javafx-sdk-11/lib/javafx.base.jar:/Users/sven/tools/javafx-sdk-11/lib/javafx.controls.jar:/Users/sven/tools/javafx-sdk-11/lib/javafx.graphics.jar:/Users/sven/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication5/build/classes' '--module-path' '/Users/sven/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication5/build/classes' 'javaapplication5.NewMain' So you can see my NewMain class is loaded from the module path although I never specified using the module path.... So this combination (which you will get as an OOTB experience will not work... Hope this helps clarifying my problem.
