This error occurs when the JavaFX module is not found in the module path. To resolve this issue, you need to make sure that the JavaFX SDK is properly installed and added to your project's module path.

Here are some steps you can follow to set up JavaFX:

1. Download the JavaFX SDK from the official website: https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/

2. Extract the downloaded file to a location on your computer.

3. In your IDE (such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse), go to project settings and add the JavaFX SDK as a library or module dependency.

4. Make sure that you have added the necessary VM options to run JavaFX applications. For example, you can add the following VM options:
   --module-path /path/to/javafx-sdk-16/lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

5. Rebuild your project and run it again.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up JavaFX properly and resolve the "Module javafx.controls not found" error.

ModulePath contains JavaFX JDK and the classpath contains the library

Including --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml ?

[brazen stratus]

yes im sure that should be working properly, here's the user libraries too btw

but give me a moment to re-do it

The right one is the tutorial im following for this, maybe the lack of a classpath to SDK is an issue?

yea i still get the error despite this

putting filepath in quotes didn't change anything either

This might help you out https://github.com/openjfx/openjfx-docs/issues/91

[brazen stratus]

fixed it by adding the JavaFX libraries to ModulePath
instead of Classpath
