Gold, I could only find old videos. This changes so much over the years. Glad you posted. Thank you.

[@user-uo8we6nd7e]

it works

[@MrGeoWolf]

Thanks for the help! Having a recent version of this tutorial is really nice because other videos I watched that are a couple years old they are clicking on stuff that sometimes aren't even on my screen haha! I like that it's simple and straight and easy to follow!

[@hellomynameisjatpet]

Hey, glad I could help :)

[@NoahMoussa-su2yd]

Hello, thank you so much it works.Tip for MacOS users, when you get to the Arguments section, I would also uncheck the box where it says Use the -XstartOnFirstThread argument when launching with SWT. I would not be able to see the stage window otherwise. Peace

Thank you!

[@gnarmarmounts]

Thank you so much, this was the third tutorial I tried and by far the clearest and most concise, and it worked.... amaaaazing!

[@karlspicer5123]

I haven't left a comment in years, but thank you for this video. It was so very helpful for figuring this out!

[@amanjot9922]

Thankyou so much. I had been trying to run java fx for few hours now. I saw lot of videos and posts ..nothing was working but your 5 minute video solved my problem. Thankyou.

[@JohnnysCoolStuff]

Many thanks! I tried JavaFX a few years ago and simply couldn't get it to run. Now it's working!

[@charlescoon577]

Thank you for this film. I believe it got me much closer to where I needed to be in getting JavaFX to work with eclipse. Now I must find some missing "JavaFX runtime components".

[@belaladel6444]

Thanks a lot man I was banging my head against a wall for 2 hours, you saved my day.

[@JA-it4bg]

I just solved the problem with Eclipse 2023, Java JDK 21.0.2, JavaFX 21.0.2 and got it to work using your method! It took a while, but after updating everything, it finally worked. Thanks!

[@nezolino3173]

Solved my issue. Thank you for the tutorial. Short, on point and great. Thank you !

[@robinreyrosales7776]

Thank you so much! I've been struggling to install JavaFX. Your tutorial really help in under 5 minutes.

[@alexrsps141]

Quick note: You do NOT need e(fx)clipse plugin, in my case Eclipse crashed after it installed and I was unable to start it anymore (had to reinstall eclipse entirely, safe mode wouldnt boot either) Followed the other instructions and got it working :)

[@SilverSonic1992]

Thank you. I tired other tutorials, but this one actually worked.

[@hellomynameisjatpet]

Glad it worked! Thanks for the feedback

[@Stealthy_Sloth]

This saved me so much stress just trying to Google everything was a PITA seeing and following along helped. Thank You. NOTE: I'm not sure why I had to run Eclipse as an administrator to install the IDE plugin it took several tries.

[@addictedonhiphop]

Hello Everybody. First of all I want to thank Lukas for this video because I need JavaFX for University. The older video I found on youtube in order to setup Java FX on Eclipseto help me didn't have the detail on module you pointed it out at 4:30. So to know University of people made your video as an install reference today for JavaFX in 2nd term I am now. Keep It up.

[@robertsteele7906]

Hello, I just followed these instructions, added the jars to my user library and when I click File>New >Other, there is no option for JavaFX...

[@matthewadams732]

This is a fantastic tutorial, really clear and efficient. Thanks!

[@sruthikajohn7232]

Deleting the module-info.java file solved my issue. So did adding JavaFX in Modulepath Entries instead of Classpath Entries. Thanks a ton!

Thanks, you solve my problem 😊. I have spent an hour trying to figure it out

Thanks for the video. I managed to install javafx on Eclipse.

[@nates.4513]

Thank you good sir. Very helpful compared to the 15 minute videos that did not help at all. You are a lifesaver.

[@Meppoy]

I'm so much surprised it worked for me from the first attempt (or at least it seems to be working). Much appreciate the help!

[@Canopus0675]

Thank you so so much! I’ve been trying to figure out since ages. You’ve done an amazing job! 💛💛

[@pr0mming]

Nice video, so easy. But in my case I needed make sure I have the "e(fx)eclipse" plugin.

[@dodd1556]

it still works for javaFX 22 with eclipse 2023 version. Thanks bro!

[@JosephButler1996]

I added the JavaFX library, but I do not have the option for JavaFX project under Other. Using Eclipse.

^^^ +1 This is why I hate Java Did anybody solve this?

[@Punch_Card]

did you make sure to install e(fx)clipse. double check

[@dagza]

@@Punch_Card Yes. Wow. How condescending? Do you also give out golf swing advice?

[@chriswang5728]

Hey, Restart Eclipse after you install the e(fx)clipse plugins. Eclipse needs to be restarted after adding the plugins in order for javaFX to appear in project creation

[@JanKowal-zd1mi]

just use maven to add dependency to your project and copy artifact from maven repository to your pom file. all of you can use JDK 8 - javafx is there. if you use jdk greater than 9, javafx was removed and we have to add it by maven. Then add to your module info java modules from java fx

[@friend_is_Well]

When I attempted to create a new project by going into "other" with Eclipse version 2024-03 (4.31.0), I couldn't find JavaFX. I struggled to figure out what was wrong, but when I reinstalled the version to 22-03, the issue was resolved! XD

So what happens when you install E(fx)clipse, but none of the options for creating a new JavaFX project come up in the File>Other menu, and there is no option to add the Java FX library in the BuildPath. I have to set up E(FX)Clipse every few years, and I get this issue.

[@zainrajab648]

Me too, when I click 'new' 'other' I don't see JavaFX anywhere.

[@Restexe749]

Great work... Plain and simple. Keep up the good work

[@MoTopiwala]

thank you! I followed instructions to a T yet I didn't have the classpath trouble after creating a JavaFX project. Maybe they patched it in a recent Eclipse or JavaFX SDK version

[@darmyn5750]

I don't understand why schools force kids to use this software. It's clearly outdated if this is what you have to do for a simple install. Thanks for the vid, u saved my life. This software is laughable.

[@ParikshitShrestha-o1z]

AMAZING WORK.🙏

[@SOCCERJOCKy11]

Thank you so much brother. I am just curious, do you have a DEEP understanding of computers ? Or how did you possibly figure this out? Impressive the things people like yourself solve.

[@moysiadouchristina8945]

Thank you so much! The video is incredible!

[@Zio-Pera]

I don't have the classpath option in build path

[@GTSFT]

Note: you may have to restart eclipse once you add JavaFX. Usually, a pop up window will appear once you’ve added the library.

[@raphaelvinh]

Thanks for your tutorial it really helped me ! Also how can we make a runnable JAR file that is self dependent (that has all the javafx JAR into itself, so we can run the JAR alone) Thanks for your help

[@hellomynameisjatpet]

Hey sorry for the late reply, yes that is something I am looking into myself personally, I have encountered an issue that doesn't load all the libraries when I try to run it as jar, will definitely let you know if I figure it out

[@kaiserpanzer548]

It said it was unable to find the Javafx controls file and now i can no longer open eclipse because "The executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library"

I've never programed in Java before so I was like why it is so complicated compare to Visual Studio. haha but thank you so much for sharing video!!

I got that error too at first, but it turned out I just screwed up the thing that needs to be typed in the VM arguments box. I used periods instead of the commas that are supposed to be in that last part. After I redid it correctly, it worked Edit: Oh nvm, I think it was a slightly different error.

[@mariocayer3570]

Hi Lucas. I have tried different ways and am not successful in creating a new JavaFX project. I am running Linux Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, latest version of Eclipse 2023-12 and latest version of java-21-openjdk-amd64. I follow your instructions exactly until the step to create a new JavaFX project. When I select New, I cannot find any JavaFX directories. If I go to others, I don't see it either. So I can't create a new FX project. However, the libraries are correctly assigned under User libraries Any idea would be appreciated.
