Hello everyone,

I migrate a big e4 application to java 11, efxclipse 3.6.2 and openjfx 11.0.2

I have two illegalAccesError:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class core.client.application.fx.ui.addons.WindowPlacerAddon (in unnamed module @0x2ed84910) cannot access class com.sun.glass.ui.Screen (in module javafx.graphics) because module javafx.graphics does not export com.sun.glass.ui to unnamed module @0x2ed84910

-> Use method Screen.getScreens(); to obtain screen add open my 2 applications windows in each screen

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class core.client.application.fx.ui.addons.ItemHelperAddon$WidgetListener$1$1 (in unnamed module @0x3f638b30) cannot access class com.sun.javafx.scene.control.ContextMenuContent (in module javafx.controls) because module javafx.controls does not export com.sun.javafx.scene.control to unnamed module @0x3f638b30

-> Use to add contextual help in a status bar when hover a item in contextual menu

I'm add this to the VM arguments :
--module-path=/home/bonnafous/opt/java/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib
--add-modules=javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.graphics,javafx.fxml
--add-exports=javafx.controls/com.sun.javafx.scene.control=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=javafx.graphics/com.sun.glass.ui=ALL-UNNAMED

This solution :
- does'nt work with an external folder -Defxclipse.java-modules.dir (duplicate module error)
- works with bundled javafx-modules but i prefer a solution with only bundled javafx-modules without using javafx installation path.

Is it possible to export classes Screen and ContextMenuContent with options in the
bundled javafx-modules ?

are you able to ship your own JDK? Created through jlink? I would suggest to use that strategy because then you just have add --add-modules

so what would be your preferred shipment method? If you want to use our adapter-hooks you can add open/exports through manifest headers

The JDK is already installed on the target machine.
I don't know how to use adapter-hooks.
But I've found another solution. I replaced the use of classes that are not exported
