While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

So you just need to figure out how to create a JavaFX program from the looks of it and add a button action that calls the sendMessageToServer function right?

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
  <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
  <version>${javafx.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
  <artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
  <version>${javafx.version}</version>
</dependency>
...
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
  <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${javafx-maven-plugin.version}</version>
  <configuration>
    <mainClass>example.Main</mainClass>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
``` You can add this to your maven pom.xml (for example) to get started with JavaFX

and this sample Main.java ```java
package example;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    stage.show();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

}

then if you run the javafx:run action in Maven you should see an empty JavaFX gui

from here you can create your GUI and add all the elements you need

e.g. TextArea for the chat area, TextField for the input area and Button for the send button

are you running multiple Client's in the same instance?

so 1 main method should open more than 1 gui?

so run your application multiple times?

lol

public class Main extends Application {
    private Socket socket;
    
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
        TextField textField = new TextField();

        Button button = new Button("Send");
        button.addActionListener(event -> {
            String text = textField.getText();
            try {
                socket.getOutputStream().write(text.getBytes());
                socket.getOutputStream().flush();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                // Handle the send error
            }
        });

        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

so something like this

Socket is whatever your networking call should be

doesn't sound like it is

maybe the issue is in your module-info.java, if you post that I can check

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: class com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl (in module javafx.graphics) cannot access class com.roborallypackage.view.TestApplication (in module com.roborallypackage) because module com.roborallypackage does not export com.roborallypackage.view to module javafx.graphics

I gues you need

opens com.roborallypackage.view to javafx.fxml;

I hate module-info.java so much

ah yeah you do

I'm not sure, I've avoided module-info like the plague, so can't help there

are you just using the module system for Javafx? you might find it easier just to use the maven plugin

otherwise, hopefully somebody with more knowledge than me can help you

maybe take a step back and look into the tech you're using?

The error says you're not exporting to javafx.graphics

[candid jewel]

it's easier to break everything down, research into what you don't understand and then continue what you're doing once you know why and how something is needed/used

[verbal roost]

Same way you're exporting to javafx.fxml java exports com.roborallypackage.view to javafx.graphics

Use a comma to separate your exports

The path you're using for your FXML file isn't proper

It can't find your FXML using the path you gave it

What path are you using, and where is the file located?

A path is a written string specifying where a file is

You already put it in your code, you passed the path to the FXMLLoader

Show the path you specified, and the exact location of the file

"On my PC" doesn't help us

Yes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)

An example of a Windows path would be C:/Users/Your Name/Desktop/your file.txt

If you're going to be a software developer, yes, you'll have to get used to reading technical articles

You have to make the path you're passing to the FXMLLoader match where the file is

Post the path you're using

It's not 4 hour articles for minor things. There are other articles that explain it in simpler terms

You need to do research

Yes, that is where you are specifying the path

Where is testView.fxml within your project?

Is TestApplication the class trying to load the file?

getResource is going to load from your resources folder, using the same package name as the class

What do you think you should do, based on what I said?

You gotta put a bit of thought into it

You can move the file to a new folder, called view

Is the class in package view or com.roborallypackage.view?
