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!

[@lukasjatuzis]

Hey, glad I could help :)

[@gnarmarmounts]

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

[@user-zn3qw8qd4v]

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

[@user-uo8we6nd7e]

it works

[@nezolino3173]

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

[@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.

[@Canopus0675]

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

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

[@karlspicer5123]

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

[@JohnnysCoolStuff]

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

[@Rey_Palpatine]

This video literally saved my life, I've been trying to find an explanation for this for hours

[@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!

[@gabby1207]

i just about cried from frustration before your video helped me out. thank you so much!

[@belaladel6444]

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

[@nates.4513]

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

[@Elchin3d]

Thank you, with the help of tutorial, i did not have any issues at all for installing and configuring JavaFx.

[@Restexe749]

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

[@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".

[@33rajveersinghdhingi74]

Amazing, thank you soo much I was stuck on how to run the program but this video solved it

[@user-ls1pi2ld9e]

ty king it ended up taking a combo of this and my teachers tutorials they kind of completed each other

[@vincentmoh8253]

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

[@danielt9410]

THANK YOU!!!! OMG I spent hours trying to do it by myself!

[@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!

[@user-bv5yv2ev5t]

Amazing, very quick and simple, good job!

[@SilverSonic1992]

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

[@lukasjatuzis]

Glad it worked! Thanks for the feedback

[@mayureebawane1938]

Thank you so much. It is such a big help to understand installing part.

[@sruthikajohn7232]

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

[@NomadtheHunter]

It took me a while, but it worked this time! Thanks

[@zukafuverma]

Thankyou brother you didn't just solved my javaFx problem, but also solved the java.lang problem aswell 💜

[@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

[@Stonesthrow.]

Thank you!

[@maximemax7547]

So this enabled my JavaFX classes to run on Eclipse, but many of my other regular Java classes will not compile now due to some general java.lang error.

[@neo_noir_films]

thank you man saved mylife

[@liki6922]

There is no class path in in my Java build path's libraries , what do i do ?

[@geekimaen]

I do not have that javaFX folder in the "select a wizard" place. Plz help me

[@maruphossain2826]

thanks.. it works !

[@pr0mming]

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

[@user-zt7tn3xy3y]

THANKS MAN!!!

[@kurkov11]

Damn, thank you!

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

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?

[@stevengrant4352]

I got module format not recognised error during initialisation of boot layer

[@sharonlelo5977]

Thank you so much 💯

[@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.

[@Zio-Pera]

I don't have the classpath option in build path

[@nicolasmenahem3130]

MERCI BEAUCOUUUUUUP !

[@InfoElecmathic]

Good. thank you.

[@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 :)

[@user-uo8we6nd7e]

Thanks, it works

[@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"

[@Akhri-Pasta]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@satvikrajesh6931]

good job. it works

[@tarxan3885]

THANKS YOU!!!!!

[@godzab]

Bro you're a godamm hero.

[@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...

I'm stuck in this part at 3:46. Can someone tell me how to copy that and paste it?

[@zolamusic8816]

you are a life saver

[@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

[@lukasjatuzis]

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
