Hello im a newbie so bare with me please.
So im watching a tutorial and they use an Alert but then i need to import first right? before i can use the Alert.
im using JDK 1.8.0

so im looking through the internet and it says that the alert should be includeed in the package jdk 1.8.0 but in my case i cant import it . the only thing it says when i try to import it is as show in the picture.

Any idea how will i resolve this?

where do i find it

#

are you using maven or gradle?

#

maven:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx</artifactId>
    <version>11</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
#

gradle:
implementation group: 'org.openjfx', name: 'javafx', version: '11', ext: 'pom'

#

assuming javaFX isnt packaged with your java installation

Are you sure you are using jdk 8?
open command line and type in java -version and check the output

did you try importing everything from control?
import javafx.scene.control.*;

#

You could also remove the import statement, then declare the Alert in your code and try to use the IDE to import it for you

unborn swift
#

yes but it just gives me the same result

Hi, what version of Java have you set in your IDE?

#

Maybe it's just an IDE what has an issue, not code itself

unborn swift
#

It is version of Java used to run NetBeans

It is not related to what is used as compiler

open pawn
#

ahh yeah, might be the bundled one

#

Right click on your project --> Project Properties

What version do you see?

#

Or send us a screenshot

Hmmm 🤔 seems to be correct

#

Can you import any other class from JavaFX, or only have issues with Alert?

Hah, than you might have old version of Java 8 🤣

#

I suggest installing one of the new JDK versions from the link above and set that JDK to be used in your project
do not use the bundled netbeans java
