I am having issues installing JavaFX in vs studio code. I am getting this error and believe it may be due to an extra space at the end of the maven file name, how do i correct this so it will run?

Do you have some Maven configuration in VSC?

#

If so, can you show it?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

@hidden roost How do I access that

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:37 PM

#

I don't use VSC (at least not with the Java extension from RedHat) but there might be Java settings

#

How did you install Maven?

#

Did you configure a MAVEN_HOME?

#

or did you add it to the PATH

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:38 PM

#

I just downloaded the binary file from online

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:38 PM

#

was it a zip file?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:39 PM

#

i dont recall

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:41 PM

#

How did you tell VSC where you extracted Maven?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:41 PM

#

i know i should remember but i forgot, i was using chatgpt to try to help

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

maybe check VSC settings and look for a maven installation directory setting

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

would this be easier in intellij?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

also check your environments for a MAVEN_HOME

#

I think IntelliJ doesn't need an external Maven installation

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

can you use python in intellij?

#

im trying to make a project with both together

#

i just read that you can, are you able to instruct me on what i should do in intellij?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

noble lodge can you use python in intellij?

Not sure - maybe only with the paid version

#

actually it should be possible in the free version

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

thats the only reason i was going to use vs code

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

I think you can install the Python plugin in IntelliJ Community

#

but I don't know

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

which IDE do you use?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

I personally use Eclipse (for Java)

#

but that's personal preference

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

ok i can download that one and we can explore to see if i can get JavaFX to work on that

#

ok i downloaded eclipse

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

I wouldn't use Eclipse for Python though

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

ohh ok

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

It is possible but I wouldn't use it

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

im not sure which one i should use then

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

Both IntelliJ and VSC should work

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

ok i preer VSC

#

prefer

#

i just dont know how to get JavaFX to work on it

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

what's available in the settings?

#

maybe under extensions?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

which settings?

#

code-settings-settings?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

probably that

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

that

#

Does that have a space at the end?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

yes

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

remove that

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

ok i dont see a way to save

#

maybe it does auto?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

maybe..?

#

I guess so

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

i think so

#

now what should i try

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

try the project generation again

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

just did

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

so removing the space was successful

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

correct

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

Can you try entering ls "/Users/brentsanford/Desktop/apache-maven-3.9.4" in your terminal?

#

Is brentsanford your user?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

yes

#

ls: /Users/brentsanford/Desktop/apache-maven-3.9.4: No such file or directory

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:19 PM

#

Can you open a terminal inside the Maven directory

#

and enter pwd in that terminal?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:19 PM

#

im still new to using terminal

#

how do i do that again

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

I don't know MacOS much but maybe you can open the directory in finder and right-click and select Open in terminal or similar

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

the folder isnt showing up when i ls

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

hm?

#

I guess you need to find out where it actually is

#

maybe your Desktop is somewhere else?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:27 PM

#

ok i put it in a different folder on my desktop

#

called maven

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

try to get a terminal in the folder or use ls on it

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

i am in the folder

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

what's the output ofn pwd?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

/Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven

#

i just changed it in settings

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:33 PM

#

now does it work?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

seems like you don't have the permissions to execute it

#

Are you running Maven with the same user?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

how do i know that

#

i only have 1 account on my computer

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

What's the output of ls -la /Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

and I guess whoami shows your username?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

whoami
brentsanford

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

How do you execute VSC?

#

you don't need to enter your password/run it as an administrator, right?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

correct

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Can you try running whoami inside VSC?

#

like I think VSC has an integrated terminal

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

whoami
brentsanford

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

ok you can maybe try changing the permissions of the maven directory to allow all users to access it

#

I think something like chmod -R +rw /Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven should work

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

i typed that in and the terminal didnt do anything

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

so it still doesn't work?

#

ohhhhhhhhhhh

#

lol

#

it isn't a permission issue

#

but the path is still wrong

#

it shouldn't be /Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven but /Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven/bin/mvn

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

ok i think it did something

#

#

but theres still an error message at bottom right

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

there is an mvn file in the bin directory of the maven directory, right?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

mvn --version
zsh: command not found: mvn

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

it would be /Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven/bin/mvn --version

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

/Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven/bin/mvn --version
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly,
this environment variable is needed to run this program.

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

you might need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to your JDK

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

how do i do that

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

you can set it in the terminal but it would be gone as soon as you close the terminal

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

my zshrc reads: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-21.jdk/Contents/Home
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/brentsanford/Downloads/apache-maven-3.9.4/bin:/opt/homebrew/opt/git/bin:/Users/brentsanford/desktop/maven:$PATH"
PROMPT="% "

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

that looks like it should work

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

well i got that error message

#

also i tried in terminal

#

ls: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-21.jdk/Contents/Home: No such file or directory

#

the correct path is: /Users/brentsanford/Desktop/jdk-21.0.1

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

then it would probably need to be export JAVA_HOME=/Users/brentsanford/Desktop/jdk-21.0.1

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

ok i changed it

#

now i should try to exit vs code and attempt javafx again?

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

yeah

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

i finally may have actually did it

#

how would i know

#

#

darn i still see the error

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

Did it create the pom.xml and the other files?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

#

yes it created the files

#

im so close!!!

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

noble lodge yes it created the files

then creating it was probably successful

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

noble lodge

in that thing

#

What did you enter?

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

#

i dont think its working

#

i tried intellij and this is what i got

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:41 PM

#

does look working

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:49 PM

#

what?

#

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 6:51 PM

#

you should be able to run the main

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 6:54 PM

#

which main

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

the green button there

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

#

this is what i see now

hidden roost Nov 21, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

seems like JavaFX is working

noble lodge Nov 21, 2023, 7:26 PM
