Error with JavaFX Project: ImageIO and BufferedImage not visible

I'm working on revamping a JavaFX project I created back in 2018. I have the original main script but now there seems to be 2 FX related errors now. import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; I am using Apache NetBeans with Maven version 12.5 and I am using OpenJDK 17 and OpenJFX 17.

The error is saying for both that these packages are not visible, and that they are declared in module java.desktop but module com.mycompany.realestate2021 does not read it.

How do I fix this issue(s)?

Check the module-info.java for your project, and make sure that it contains a line for "java.desktop":

module xyz {
    requires transitive java.desktop;
... }

This declares that your project uses the definitions from java.desktop - which include BufferedImage. You may also need declarations for JavaFX such as:

requires transitive javafx.base;
requires transitive javafx.controls; // etc
requires transitive javafx.graphics;
