Setting up Java FX

If you are not using Gradle

1. Download the JavaFX 11 SDK and unzip it.

2. Import the libs folder from the SDK into your project (note: JAVAFX_HOME is the directory in which you have unzipped the JavaFX SDK).

   File > Project Structure > Libraries > + > Java > {JAVAFX_HOME}/lib

3. From Run > Edit Configurations, add the following line into your VM options for each of the main classes.

   --module-path {JAVAFX_HOME}/lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml
   e.g., --module-path C:/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

If you are using Gradle

Update your build.gradle to include the following lines:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.7'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

javafx {
    version = "11.0.2"
    modules = [ 'javafx.controls', 'javafx.fxml' ]
}
