I'm not sure that will work in general. The more important thing to note is that we really can't build and run an actual standalone JavaFX SDK if the JDK already has the javafx.* modules. I'll file a bug and we can think about possible solutions.

Basically, though, unless you are intending to build a set of javafx.* modules to import into your own local custom build of the JDK, you need to use a boot JDK that doesn't have the javafx.* modules.

I guess --patch-module should be used instead of --update-module-path ? It seems to be a little more complicated.

    I found the problem.  I'm using a build of OpenJDK from Azul that
    includes the javafx modules.  You probably aren't, which means the
    --upgrade-module-path option isn't being used so there is no
    conflict with javac parameters.
    I downloaded a JDK17 without the JavaFX modules and teh build worked.
    I think this will have to be fixed somehow or the documentation
    needs to change to forbid a JDK with built-in JavaFX modules.  The
    current attempts in the build script to deal with existing javafx
    modules are not working.
    A fix would be better.

        difference.  I'm running the gradle wrapper, so it's using
        Gradle as defined by the project.  I'm also usually on the
        bleeding edge with Gradle, so if I didn't use gradlew it
        would have been Gradle 8.0-rc-2 :-)

            I recommend removing the entire build directory (although
            if you managed to get "gradle clean" working, then it will
            do that).

            What version of gradle are you using? You will need gradle
            7.6 to use JDK 19.

                I'm trying to build OpenJFX on my Mac.  I figured out
                an issue with the Gradle scripts, they fail if there
                is a stale mac_tools.properties file. A 'clean' also
                fails for the same reason so you have to manually
                delete the file to get it to be re-built.  But now
                the build fails with the following error:

                > Task :graphics:compileJava FAILED
                You specified both --module-source-path and a
                sourcepath. These options are mutually exclusive.

                error: option --upgrade-module-path cannot be used
                together with --release

                use --help for a list of possible options

                FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

                I'm not sure why I would be seeing this error if the
                build is working for everyone else.  I'm using JDK 19.

                Any hints?

                Btw, the Mac section of
                https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX
                still mentions needing Mercurial.  I don't think
                that's true anymore.
