I can't get JavaFX working with NetBeans 11.3.
The NetBeans documentation says:
If you install JavaFX 2.1 to Windows manually, consider installing the JavaFX 2.1 libraries and runtime to the default location (C:/Program Files/Oracle/). NetBeans IDE checks the default locations for the JavaFX. If JavaFX 2 is in the default locations the IDE can automatically create a JavaFX-enabled Java platform.
I've put the Gluon SDK there, though the number is 11.0.2. NetBeans does not automatically create a JavaFX enabled platform.
This StackOverflow answer suggests cleaning the cache. That didn't help.
If I try to create a new JavaFX project from the IDE, I get the message:
Failed to automatically set-up a JavaFX Platform. Please go to Platform Manager, create a non-default Java SE platform, then go to the JavaFX tab, enable JavaFX and fill in the paths to valid JavaFX SDK and JavaFX Runtime. Note: JavaFX SDK can be downloaded from JavaFX website.
But there is no "JavaFX" tab on the platform manager. The NetBeans release notes way back in version 8.0.2 say:
Unlike previous versions of NetBeans IDE, NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 does not require that you set up an "FX-enabled" Java platform in order to utilize JavaFX support in the IDE. You can develop JavaFX projects in the IDE if you install any standard Java platform that is JDK 7 Update 6 or newer (JDK 7 Update 10 or newer is strongly recommended).
But presumably that is from when JavaFX was bundled in the JDK.
So how do I get NetBeans to recognise the Gluon JavaFX?
Manual workaround:
/nbproject/project.properties file
run.jvmargs=--module-path "D:\\Libraries\\Java9\\openjfx-13.0.2_windows-x64_bin-sdk\\javafx-sdk-13.0.2\\lib" \
--add-modules=javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.swing,javafx.web \
--add-exports=javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.application=ALL-UNNAMED \
// you may need to add more --ad-exports arguments based on the errors that will crop up during the run phase. this stuff basically removes package access limiters at runtime so be careful.
then there's the compiler arguments
javac.modulepath=\
D:\\Libraries\\Java9\\openjfx-13.0.2_windows-x64_bin-sdk\\javafx-sdk-13.0.2\\lib
and i'm pretty sure you need this too
javac.classpath=\
${libs.JAVAFX13.classpath}:\

I'm new in Apache Netbeans 11 with JDK11, however i've been programming in jdk1.8 (netbeans 8.2) for a while but for school purposes i'm forced to use jdk11 this year, the problem is that I dont know, how to create new JavaFX FXML project. I've done some research and found out, that jfx is not a part of standard jdk anymore.
Then I found some tutorials how to run a javafx 11 project with adding the libraries, however it doesn't tell how to create a new project.
Is there any simple way how to add JavaFX 11 to my netbeans so the netbeans can use JavaFX 11 natively (I mean for example create new JavaFX 11 project with jdk11)
And if there isn't and I will have to use jdk 1.8, do I also need to install older Scene Builder or the SB11 will do the work (even for older javafx/jdk?
Ok, SOLVED:
As you can read in https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#IDE-NetBeans OpenJFK docs, there are basicly many options to create openJFX project (either with FXML)
From IDE: That means that you have to add libraries, VM options, etc yourself for each project (As I mentioned in my question, not much user friendly solution I was looking for)
Create Maven Project
Create Gradle Project
I chose the Maven, yet I have had an errors telling me Unrecognized option: --module-path Command execution failed., altho I have had java_home set up on jdk11 and project on jdk11 as well. However, i needed to add system enviromental variable %JAVA_HOME% with jdk with higher priority then the old one. After that it still didnt run! BUT... Then I deleted the old system EV refferencing on jdk1.8. Since then the project runs with no errors. I tried to create EV refferencing the old jdk1.8 at the end of that Path list and it still run. (So there was a bug with prioritising the Paths I guess) Thank you all, espcly #JoséPereda
Sum – all steps I've done to solve Unrecognized option: --module-path Command execution failed.
Set Apache NetBeans etc/netbeans.conf -> netbeans_jdkhome=/path/to/jdk-11
Create a new System Enviromental Variable called JAVA_HOME with value of path to new jdk (jdk11 in my case)
Edit System Enviromental Variable Path -> New -> %JAVA_HOME%\bin and move it above your old jdk path (yet my Maven project didn't run after this step)
Remove the old jdk path (jdk1.8 in my case)
Restart Apache NetBeans 11 -> Run Project -> It runs with no erros
I tried to add my old System Enviromental Varible Path (refferencing jdk1.8) and it still works.
I'm working with a DEBIAN OS that it have an enviroment configured to work with a cross platform arm device with yocto.
After following the provider instructions:
Set up OS env with a script
open qtcreator from a terminal with the custom enviroment
add a kit with custom qmake, gcc and gdb (there is no warning)
add the device sysroot & ip (all tests ok)
Seems like all is ok but when i try to apply this changes i receive the following message:
Failed to set up kit for Qbs: Could no determine whether Qt is a
static build.
and the kit is not appearing when i try to create a new project.
i already check this pages and all explained there is done:
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html
https://support.emtrion.de/en/details_operating-systems/linux-37.html?file=files/content/emtrion/downloads/emLinux-documentation-v008en.pdf
any clue about what is going wrong here?
Thanks by your time.
EDIT
i'm using qt-creator 4.7 and the current configuration works properly at 4.2 version.
the Qt version used fot the kit give the follow message at both versions:
ABI detection failed: Make sure to use a matching compiler when building
here is an open post with a similar unsolved issue:

I downloaded and installed JDK8u33 for ARM on my beaglebone black, and according to this documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/embedded/jdk-arm-8u6/index.html) javafx is included and supported.
However, I can not find jfxrt.jar anywhere in the JRE or JDK, and using javac on a simple javafx program yields "javafx.application" is not a package.
What gives?
As #eckig says, since the 8u33 for ARM version, Oracle has removed JavaFX from the ARM distribution.
To run any JavaFX application you can downgrade your version to the last JDK8u6 that supported JavaFX, or you can provide a valid jfxrt.jar.
And you can do it following this tutorial, cross building OpenJFX for ARM, or just using some already built distribution like this one hosted on the JavaFXPorts project.
Once you have downloaded armv6hf-sdk.zip, unzip it and you need to add this command line option to attach this external source to the classpath, with the extension mechanism:
-Djava.ext.dirs=<path to armv6hf-sdk>/rt/lib/ext
For instance, you need this to run one of the JavaFX old samples from its actual path:
sudo /opt/jdk1.8.0_33/bin/java -Djava.ext.dirs=<path to armv6hf-sdk>/rt/lib/ext -jar BrickBreaker.jar
The latest version of the Java Development Kit for ARM processors (JDK 8u33 for ARM) no longer supports JavaFX Embedded, it has been all of the tech news, for example here: http://jaxenter.com/jdk-arm-without-javafx-end-javafx-embedded-114212.html
This should be easy, but I can't figure out how.
Is there any way to find out which JavaFX version is installed. And I DON'T mean programmatically via System.getProperty("javafx.runtime.version") , which returns an empty string on my computer, although JavaFX is installed.
I would rather like to have something like java -version on console, but in order to get the JavaFX version.
Alternatively it would be sufficient to know if JavaFX is installed at all. I just have some customers who can't run my swing/javaFX app and would like to tell them to check whether JavaFX is installed.
You can't really do this the same way you do with the Java runtime. The difference is that java is a machine executable that launches the JVM. JavaFX is just a set of library classes; it's not really an executable in the same sense.
It looks like the System property that you can read at runtime is kept in jre/lib/javafx.properties, so you can do something like
cat $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/javafx.properties
or whatever the Windows equivalent is, if you're running on Windows. However, if the System property you get at runtime is blank, then I suspect this file doesn't exist. As dfeuer commented, it would help to know your JRE version.
Update:
The relationship between JDK/JRE version and JavaFX version is as follows.
Beginning with JRE 1.7.0 update 6, JavaFX was included with the JRE, but was not on the classpath. So for JRE 1.7.0, update 6 and later, the jfxrt.jar file is included in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib. The javafx.properties file which contains the JavaFX version information is in the same directory, though in theory at least the JRE version will determine the JavaFX version (since they were shipped together).
Just inspecting the JDK 1.7.0 versions I have installed on my machine, the mapping from JDK version to JavaFX version is:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_06.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.0
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.4
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_11.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.4
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_13.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.5
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.7
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.21
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.25
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.40
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk javafx.runtime.version=2.2.45
Beginning with JRE 1.8.0, JavaFX was included with the JRE and was placed on the classpath; so it's effectively a full part of the core libraries. In version 1.8.0, the jfxrt.jar file is in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext (which automatically makes it part of the classpath). The javafx.properties file which contains the JavaFX version information is still in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib. The version numbering for JavaFX in version 1.8.0 (appears to) simply mimic the JRE version:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk javafx.runtime.version=8.0.0
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk javafx.runtime.version=8.0.5
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk javafx.runtime.version=8.0.20
So with your customers, you can simply ask them to do java -version and for the most part, you'll be able to deduce the JavaFX version. On some rare occasions you may need to dig a little deeper.
A sort-of-related note: if you are shipping an application to customers and you need to determine a specific version, consider using a self contained application, in which you include a JRE (and JavaFX runtime) with the application.
For Ubuntu 18.04 the JavaFX version can be found in /usr/share/openjfx/lib/javafx.properties. A simple command should show you the version you have.
$ cat /usr/share/openjfx/lib/javafx.properties
javafx.version=11.0.2-internal
javafx.runtime.version=11.0.2-internal+0-2019-02-19-093139
javafx.runtime.build=0
Perhaps your installation has something similar?
If you are using Netbeans 15 on Windows 10, look in the file:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans-15\netbeans\javafx\VERSION.txt
On my machine, it contains 11
I have some difficulties with QT, which I need for school for some GUI applications.
I have recently done these steps:
1) mingw-get-inst-20120426.exefrom SourceForge installed to C:\MinGW\ with default settings.
2) Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB) from QT Project installed to C:\Qt\ with default settings. Here an error occurs:
!!!There is a problem with your MinQW instalation
!!!g++ not found in c:\MinGW\bin\
!!!Do you still want to continue? Yes
I checked c:\MinGW\bin\ there is no such file
3) Qt Creator 2.6.0 for Windows (51 MB)also from QT installed to C:\Qt\gtcreator-2.6.0 with default settings
4) Run the QT IDE
5) Open project or create new project. Another error occurs here
!!!No valid kits fond.
Qt Creator uses the invalid kit Desktop to parse the project.
6) Open Options->Build & Run->Kits (But I don't know how should I set Kits and where to find them).
7) Can you also help me, how to set Qt version
(Options->Buid&Run->Qt Version)? Where do I find qmake.exe?
I also didn't find how to create GUI Application. There is no such option in New File or Project...
Thanks for help.
That is quite tricky ;)
Precompiled Qt (MinGW) is only win32 (not win64).
Precompiled Qt is compiled with MinGW-g++ 4.4 and won't work with other.
You have to download this one:
http://get.qt.nokia.com/misc/MinGW-gcc440_1.zip
//// Edit: With this version of MinGW, gdb won't work (it's not python-enabled). Although QtSDK is depracted (and you won't find it on qt-project.org), I highly recommend downloading this online installer and, during the selection of components mark only MinGW. It will come with folder named "pythongdb".
http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/da8df288-e615-443d-be5c-00c8a72435f8/Qt_SDK.html
(You may need to register. It's free.)
////
Add "Compiler" by g++.exe
Add "Qt Version" by qmake.exe.
Add "Kit" with Compiler and Qt Version configured above. You can try to change debugger from CDB to GDB.
When you installed mingw, did you select the C++ compiler? It is not selected by default but you need it. Re-run the wizard and select that.
The kit is not valid because the C++ compiler cannot be found: try to install it first. If you still cannot setup this read the manual: http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtcreator-2.6/creator-targets.html. It is very complete.
qmake.exe is in *qt_directory*/bin/qmake.exe.
Try this out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ (Since the mingw-w64 project on sourceforge.net is moving to mingw-w64.org i suggest to use mingw-w64.org)
It works for me.
