Hi Graham, The error "module not found: javafx.controls" can be caused when env variable 'PATH_TO_FX' is targeting the 'JavaFX SDK' instead of 'JavaFX SDK/lib' directory
The following works for me on a Windows machine: > set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11" > set PATH_TO_FX="C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-11\lib" > %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% > --add-modules=javafx.controls HelloFX.java > %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules=javafx.controls > HelloFX -- Abhinay On Oct 10 2018, at 2:59 pm, Graham Norris <w...@norrisfamily.org> wrote: ** Reply to message from Abhinay Agarwal <abhinay_agar...@live.com> on Tue, 9 Oct 2018 16:30:18 +0000 No stack trace from either type of failure, just error messages.

Could you reply back with the "javac" command you are trying to execute, along with the stacktrace? -- Abhinay ________________________________ From: openjfx-dev <openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net> on behalf of Graham Norris <w...@norrisfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 9, 2018 9:39 PM To: openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net Subject: Re: Compiling using javac ** Reply to message from Michael Paus <m...@jugs.org> on Tue, 9 Oct 2018 15:47:29 +0200 Thank you, I'd already found this, but it isn't exactly "documentation." Also, it is for Linux (Windows doesn't have export,) but I have put the path directly on the --module-path option, which should be equivalent for this. Crucially, it does not work: I get "error: module not found: javafx.controls" I'm not entirely sure why I'd use javafx.controls as my application does not use that, but not finding javafx.controls seems to be unrelated to lack of use, which is also borne out by the fact that the compile fails immediately rather than churning out dozens of errors as it tries to compile things. Graham. The documentation you are looking for can be found here: https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/ Am 09.10.18 um 15:32 schrieb Graham Norris: I have an existing Java application which uses JavaFX. It is currently compiled (on Windows) and working using Oracle's Java 10 JDK. I am now trying to get it to compile using OpenJDK 11 and OpenJFX 11, and failing miserably! I use the JDK's command line tools to compile the application and haven't managed to find anything which shows how to make the combination of an existing application, OpenJDK 11 and OpenJFX 11 compile. Basically, I can't get javac to find and use either OpenJFX's jmods or jars. I feel there should be somewhere I could read instructions on how to use OpenJFX with OpenJDK 11's javac, but if there is, I just can't find it! Any help appreciated. Graham.
