Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, with IntelliJ Idea, Maven and JDK 19

by

File > New Project > Generators > JavaFX

I suggest starting with a new project created by IntelliJ IDEA explicitly aimed at JavaFX.

Use the JavaFX option in the Generators list, in the New Project wizard.

You will get a full working example app, that runs successfully.

The code is modularized with a module-info.java file.

The example app uses FXML. If you wish, you can easily delete that. You can use only Java coding without any FXML markup coding — your choice. If you opt out of FXML, delete the dependency for javafx-fxml from your POM.

The POM looks like the following. Notice the inclusion of OpenJFX dependencies.

By the way, you can replace the property <junit.version>5.9.1</junit.version> and the pair of JUnit dependencies with this simpler single “Aggregator” dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.jupiter/junit-jupiter -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <version>5.9.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
