Hello,
I installed Eclipse 4.9.0 for Java developers and created a new JavaFX procject.
After having defined the project (it appears in the projext explorer) Eclipse sits there for hours updating the new project (for whatever reason) at 19% completion.
Even after killing Eclipse and restarting the situation does not change.
At the moment I cannot do anything with Eclipse.
What should I do to get out of the problem?

Thanks.
K.D.J.

What is the exact message you see in the status bar or Progress view?

Standard advice can be found in https://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock (which is relevant not only for genuine deadlock, but for all kinds of "freeze", "hang" and "blocked" situations.

Hello,

If I can add my two cents' worth of experience of playing with javaFX.

- I have windows 10 64 bit

- I installed openjdk-11.0.1_windows-x64_bin.zip (In actual unziping...)
- I made sure that my system path contain the bin folder of the JDK (in my case C:\Java\jdk_11\bin)
- I have environment variable JAVA_HOME point to C:\Java\jdk_11

- I installed eclipse-jee-2018-09-win32-x86_64.zip
- I installed Java 11 Support for Eclipse 2018-09 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.9-P-builds (See the market place link)

- I create Maven project and I add the javaFX dependencies:
For example:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
<version>11.0.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-web</artifactId>
<version>11.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Then I write the application in the normal manner.

Before I try to run the application I instruct eclipse to create module-info.java

Eclipse generate the module-info.java and the content for example:

module Initial.FX {

exports myProperties;
exports main;
exports myActions;

requires java.logging;
requires transitive javafx.base;
requires transitive javafx.controls;
requires javafx.graphics;
requires org.apache.commons.lang3;
requires org.home.myLogger;
}

The "transitive" I add manually to make the compiler happy...(else you might get a warning)

Now I am able to run the application using regular "run configuration" I can also export runnable jar.

To associate the jar extension with java I use http://johann.loefflmann.net/en/software/jarfix/index.html

Have fun.

In the lower right hand corner of the Eclipse screen it says
"Updating project .. (19%)"
and next to the text there is a small progress bar that just goes back and forth without any effect.

In the progress view at the botton of the Eclipse screen there are progressbars of two processes:
"Updating Project ...."
"Building ...: Collecting resources"

and below:
"Building workspace (Waiting)"

I forgot to mention that I run Eclipse under Debian Stretch.

I forgot to mention that I run Eclipse 4.9. under Debian Stretch (AMD64).
Up to updating to Eclipse 4.9 I used Eclipse with the Java Development tool and the JAVA FX plugin and It worked fine. I do not think I want to get into Maven etc.

Since we cannot look into your machine I can only give the standard advice just like above: https://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock

Thank you for your reply.
Please excuse my late reaction: I am currently working in "catastrophe modus".
As the project was the first and only project in that specific workspace I solved the problem by brute force: I deleted the workspace, created a new workspace and in that the new project -- and everything worked as expected.
Thanks again.
