I have to convert my project from SWT to JavaFX. This project made a great use of luaj for coercion and executions of lua scripts and worked well in swt.
But there a difference with javafx. Javafx works as a module.
Since then, I have troubles with luaj.
Tried two different ways:
** With luaj in the class path**
Eclipse doesn't see it anymore (The type org.luaj.vm2.[...] is not accessible). Tried to play with the order but still not working.
With luaj as a auto-named module
I tried as a user lib or directly as an external jar.
In this case, eclipse sees luaj packages. But when I run, I have the message
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Unable to derive module descriptor for E:\eclipse-workspace\Lib\luaj-3.0.1\lib\luaj-jse-3.0.1.jar Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: luajc.class found in top-level directory (unnamed package not allowed in module)
I think that the lib file is badly named. I have a warning saying "Name of automatic module luaj.jse is unstable", but when I try to rename it, I have an error as eclipse search the old file name.
It can be de cause?
I use jdk-16
here my module-info...
module dusandbox {
requires javafx.graphics;
requires javafx.controls;
requires javafx.base;
requires javafx.fxml;
requires javafx.media;
requires javafx.swing;
requires javafx.swt;
requires javafx.web;
requires java.xml;
requires luaj.jse;
exports dusandbox;
exports dusandbox.setup;
exports dusandbox.obj;
opens dusandbox.setup to javafx.fxml;
opens dusandbox.obj to javafx.fxml;
}
VM Arguments
--module-path "E:\eclipse-workspace\Lib\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib"
--add-opens javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.text=ALL-UNNAMED

Thank you for your help! I am searching since 2 days and I am very confused!
Edit Seem that luaj can't work as module. I am still stuck at making it work in the classpath...
SOLVED
I removed the module-info and added all javafx libs in the module-path.
I replaced the VM arguments by
--module-path "E:\eclipse-workspace\Lib\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib"
--add-modules javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.web
Notice that you have to select which javafx modules you want to use in the add-modules argument.
