Exporting Eclipse to jar (with javafx) not working [message #1826333]

I have a Java project on eclipse which uses JavaFx for the GUI. Everything works fine in the IDE itself, however when I attempt to export it to something I can share with others (i.e. a jar),my computer refuses to run it.

If I choose to "Package required libraries" I get this error:

If I choose the "Extract" option for libraries instead, I get " Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application " on my Terminal.

I am using Eclipse version 2019-12 (4.14.0)

Update: I tried an independent packager, and it gave me the same error as on the 'Extract' option: "Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application". This is despite javafx working in the IDE itself.
Is there an error in how Eclipse interacts/includes the JavaFx?

Hello,

I had my shares of problems using JavaFX and extracting a runnable jar.

In some cases it works just fine. But there are exceptions...

My remedy:

- The project is Maven based.
- The project use module-info.java .
- When using the "Runnable JAR File Exporter" I use "Copy required libraries into a sub-folder next to the generated JAR"
- I use windows so I create a Batch file (cmd)

Here is a sample:

cd K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX
java.exe "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" --enable-preview -cp "K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\commons-collections4-4.4.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\commons-lang3-3.10.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-base-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-base-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-controls-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-controls-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-graphics-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-graphics-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-media-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-media-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-web-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-web-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\MyLogger.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\reactive-streams-1.0.3.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\rxjava-3.0.2.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\vavr-0.10.2.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\vavr-match-0.10.2.jar" -p "K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\commons-collections4-4.4.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\commons-lang3-3.10.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-base-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-base-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-controls-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-controls-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-graphics-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-graphics-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-media-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-media-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-web-14.0.1-win.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\javafx-web-14.0.1.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\MyLogger.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\reactive-streams-1.0.3.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\rxjava-3.0.2.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\vavr-0.10.2.jar;K:\JavaAPPs\Initial.FX\Initial.FX_lib\vavr-match-0.10.2.jar" -m Initial.FX/main.MyApplication

Actually I wrote a program to generate the file so it is not so bad....

Ok I think I found one reason: I'm using VM arguments to get javafx to work:

--module-path "\path\to\javafx-sdk-13.0.1\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

, and this doesn't get carried into the jar as Eclipse itself says. But how to solve that?
Essentially, perhaps the key to solving this problem is to have javafx working on Eclipse without the VM arguments.
I've heard about Maven but I don't quite know what it is nor how to use it.

Attached are screenshots that I hope can help someone solve the issue.

Hello,

IMHO Maven or Gradle is a must for Java programmer.(I have to admit that I started using Maven quite late and I regret it)

Install Maven and then follow this tutorial:

index.php/fa/37934/0/

https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#IDE-Eclipse

The system will download the jars (dependencies) from Maven site and will store them in folder {user.home}\.m2\ .

Since I use 14.0.1 I change the pom:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<groupId>FX.SDK.tests</groupId>
<artifactId>FX.SDK.tests</artifactId>

<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<maven.compiler.source>14</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>14</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
<version>14.0.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

</project>

I was able to create a stand alone runnable jar using "Package required libraries into generated JAR"

This is the content of the jar:

index.php/fa/37935/0/

Maven tip:

I you do not like the default location ({user.home}\.m2\) you can put in .m2

a file settings.xml

in my case I have:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.1.0.xsd">





<localRepository>G:\MyMavenRepo</localRepository>

</settings>
