We download OpenJFX SDKand store it in a directory. We download and install a new Eclipse IDE, ideally for Eclipse committers. In the following we on the one hand convert our development environment to OpenJDK 11 with OpenJFX and e(fx)clipse, and then turn to the transition for our development, including compiler and launch configurations. e(fx)clipse – IDE – PDE (Version 3.6.0).We use JavaFX in our YAKINDU products and have successfully and successfully converted the development of the GEF framework to the following configuration: However, this article focuses on using e(fx)clipse and the OpenJFX SDK.

One would be to use a JDK distribution that delivers Java 11 with JavaFX, such as Bellsoft's Liberica JDK.

There are several solutions to this problem. The first hurdle is already apparent when switching to Java 11, because JavaFX is no longer part of the JDK, either at Oracle or in the open source distribution OpenJDK. JavaFX is no longer a JRE component from Java 11
