JavaFX setup is not working, because of environment variables possibly

Question

I will be using JavaFX on a project. I am no expert but I did install it once with no major issue or problem.

But I switched to a new computer and after trying to install it doesn't build; at first I got the message that

JavaFX runtime components were missing then got the java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.controls not found

and I did check other posts that had the same error as the mentioned above but got no solution to the problem and now the message is

Unrecognized option: --module-path Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

(Please note that I'm using VS Code and no build tools, I am referencing the libraries to use JavaFX)

Path to JavaFX

launch.json configured

JRE path

Environment variables

And I'm really confused with the JRE, SDK and JDK, I installed the SDK using VS Code but I don't know if my environment variables are configured as they should be...

Thanks in advance for the help, since I'm no expert I don't know if this information is enough, I hope it is :)

Answer 1

My suggestion is to use JavaFX of vscode to build the project instead of JavaFX SDK.

I think the main problem is still caused by the environmental settings.

If you must use the JavaFX SDK, put it in a location without spaces, or quote the path when using it. And please read the document in detail.
