Hello everybody,

I am having some trouble getting an e4 application, together with openjfx and java11 (AdoptOpenJDK) to run.

The content of my target file looks like this:

<locations>
	<location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="true" includeMode="planner" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
		<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-released/3.5.0/site/"/>
		<unit id="org.eclipse.fx.core.feature.feature.group" version="3.5.0.201902252257"/>
		<unit id="org.eclipse.fx.slf4j.target.feature.feature.group" version="3.5.0.201902250700"/>
		<unit id="org.eclipse.fx.target.feature.feature.group" version="3.5.0.201902252257"/>
	</location>
	<location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="true" includeMode="planner" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
		<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.9"/>
		<unit id="org.eclipse.platform.sdk" version="4.9.0.I20180906-0745"/>
	</location>
	<location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="true" includeMode="planner" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
		<repository location="http://downloads.efxclipse.bestsolution.at/p2-repos/openjfx-11/repository/"/>
		<unit id="openjfx.media.feature.feature.group" version="11.0.0.201901231300"/>
		<unit id="openjfx.standard.feature.feature.group" version="11.0.0.201901231300"/>
		<unit id="openjfx.swing.feature.feature.group" version="11.0.0.201901231300"/>
		<unit id="openjfx.swt.feature.feature.group" version="11.0.0.201901231300"/>
		<unit id="openjfx.web.feature.feature.group" version="11.0.0.201901231300"/>
	</location>
</locations>


but unless I add " --module-path <local-path>\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib --add-modules javafx.graphics,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml", I always get the following error when running (note: the projects compiles fine with this target):

Does anyone know what is missing in order to get this to run?

Best regards.

Well does your launch config contain the openjfx features?

Maybe that one is the problem, as I don't really know what you mean by that :)
I've tried adding the openjfx plugins as "Included Plug-Ins" in the feature(.xml), but your wording sounds like that is not what you meant (and my try did not work).

please file a ticket at https://github.com/eclipse-efx/efxclipse-rt so that we provide a sample Java11+ application

I think I might have got it!
Looking at your first reply, I checked the feature.xml again and now added the openjfx features as "Included Features" and that seems to have done the trick (I feel like I've tried that before, but maybe something else went wrong back then).
Thanks!!!
