JavaFX - JFoenix alternative for JDK 13

Unfortunately I have the problem that JFoenix does not run with my Java version (13). After a short research I found out that this problem probably exists for a while (link).

I don't know Java very well and I found the introduction to JFoenix very good through numerous tutorials. I also like the integration into Scene Builder. So I wanted to ask if you know a good alternative to JFoenix that is also suitable for less experienced Java developers?

If there is no alternative, would it be problematic to use Java 9? I saw here that someone is using JFoenix with JDK 13. Is there a workaround?

Solution

  • I was able to run JFoenix with java13, you need to do bit of figuring out. One more person asked a similar question just yesterday see this : https://stackoverflow.com/a/61473762/2448015

    And also you can see in comments 2 people gave you the correct solution. All I can additionally contribute is give you are working example.

    If you are directly running, then you just need to add the relevant vm flags such as

    --module-path=D:\[YOUR DIRECTOY\javafx-sdk-13\lib
--add-modules=javafx.base, javafx.controls, javafx.fxml, javafx.graphics, javafx.media, javafx.swing, javafx.web
--add-opens
javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.runtime=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens
javafx.controls/com.sun.javafx.scene.control.behavior=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens
javafx.controls/com.sun.javafx.scene.control=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens
javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.binding=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens
javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.event=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens
javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.stage=ALL-UNNAMED

    Refer : https://github.com/jfoenixadmin/JFoenix/issues/889#issuecomment-450744122

    If you are using maven, you can refer to the following : 

    <option>--add-opens</option>
<option>javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.scene=ALL-UNNAMED</option>

    In the POM configuration for the javafx-maven-plugin For this, you need to fix the pom, something like this

    To run, use the command mvn javafx:run or mvn clean javafx:run . This will use javafx-maven-client instead of apache.

    If this doesn't help, you can simply check this github sample maven project where you can put your existing jfoenix code and make it work
