Hello there,

For this answer I'm assuming that you also have problem using it standalone, outside Eclipse (because I had this pop-up yesterday when upgrading a Dockerfile for SAPGui Linux).

It appears on SAPGui installation, in step Define Options (print below is from 7.50r7 for Linux, I don't use Mac but should be the same option).

The module path for it on Mac (if installed on default path) is

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/javafx-sdk-11/lib

You need to put /lib suffix or it won't work.

Best Regards

Thank you Thales Batista,

also in⁩ ▸ ⁨Applications⁩ ▸ ⁨Eclipse.app⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Eclipse⁩ ▸ ⁨Eclipse⁩.ini

in Eclipse.ini file after -vmargs following lines needed to be added.

-vmargs
--module-path=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib
--add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH

I was expecting to have an option to update module path in SAP GUI options, but somehow based on "best run" logic it is only available in installation screen.

Yes, I forgot about that step, sorry. It's been almost a year that I installed it on my machine.

We have to wait and see. They could at least improve this label prepending it with "JFX" or "Java FX", "Module Path" doesn't give a clue to what is required to put on it...
