How to add JavaFX runtime to Eclipse in Java 11?

by

Following the getting started guide, these are the required steps to run JavaFX 11 from Eclipse.

  1. Install Eclipse 2018-09 from here.

  2. Install JDK 11 from here.

  3. Add Java 11 as an installed JRE to Eclipse: Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Add.

  4. Download JavaFX 11 ea from here.

  5. Create a User Library: Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New. Name it JavaFX11 and include the jars under the lib folder from JavaFX 11-ea.

  6. Create a Java project. You don’t need to add a module-path class. Make sure that you select Java 11 and you add the JavaFX11 library to the project’s modulepath.

  7. Add a package javafx11 and the main application class HelloFX:

    package javafx11;
    
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Label;
    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    
    
    public class HelloFX extends Application {
    
        @Override
        public void start(Stage stage) {
            String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
            Label l = new Label ("Hello, JavaFX 11, running on "+version);
            Scene scene = new Scene (new StackPane(l), 300, 200);
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.show();
        }
    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch();
        }
    
    }

Note that the editor shouldn’t complain about JavaFX classes, as we have included the user library.

  1. Add runtime arguments. Edit the project’s run configuration, and add these VM arguments:

    –module-path C:\Users<user>\Downloads\javafx-sdk-11\lib –add-modules=javafx.controls

  2. Finally, run the project. It should work fine.
