Eclipse ADT crash when accessing to Open others > Text Elements

[Arnaud_D]

Hello,

From my Apple M2 Pro - 14.4.1 (23E224)

Eclipse Version: 2024-03 (4.31.0)
Build id: 20240307-1437

SAP GUI for Java 7.80 rev 5
(Version ID 078000040500)
2023-10-25 02:02:39 +0000
ccwdfgl2555, 780_REL, 2218331
Java VM: SAP SE Version 17.0.9+8-LTS-sapmachine
OS: Mac OS X(aarch64) Version 14.4.1

I get this error when accessing to Open others > Text Elements

The system reqirements are not met.
Could not find: javafx.properties
in:
/Users/mac-ARNAUD/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.0.1/Contents/Home/lib
Your Java Virtual Machine seems not to support JavaFX,
required to run the SAP GUI for Java 7.80 rev 5
This might be a problem of starting up the Java VM.
Please check SAP note 2971147 on how to start your Java VM.

UPDATE : Try with SAP GUI for Java 7.80 rev 6 but same error.

Thanks for your help,
Arnaud

Seems you have a JRE/JDK version mixup "SAP SE Version 17.0.9+8-LTS-sapmachine" vs "temurin-21.0.1" . The sapmachine coming with SAP GUI for Java should contain OpenJFX. temurin might not contain some JFX version.

SOLVED

Effectively temurin doesn't include JavaFX.

To solve :
1. Download JavaFX from https://jdk.java.net/21/ 
2. Decompress archive
3. Copy the content of /lib ( which contain lib files and the expected javafx.properties ) to the /lib folder of your java VM
4. Restart eclipse

I try with Java 17 and Java 21 both work well. So we can have different JVM from SAP GUI and Eclipse. I choosen to keep Java21.

Tips :
To modify the Java used by Eclipse edit the file eclipse.ini and change the line just after -vm

-vm
