JavaFX 11 and Eclipse issue

[pawelwiejkut]

Helo guys,

I have installed SAP GUI for Java version 7.50 rev 5 based on SapMachine 11 and OpenJFX 11, as described in https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2751143. Same GUI works fine, but when I try to start the new transaction from eclipse I get an error. Do you maybe have any ideas about how to solve it?

I also am having the same problem. I am running on OpenSuse Leap 15 using SAPGUI Java 7.5 rev 5 and Eclipse 1809-09 with the 1809-09 ADT plugins. I can launch the SAPGUI Java and access my Netweaver Server perfectly and perform all the needed operations. I can also Launch Eclipse and successfully connect to my Netweaver Server and edit code as expected. The problem occurs when Eclipse tries to launch SAPGUI embedded to perform an operation such as displaying the technical information about a table. Following is the error message that I receive when the embedded SAPGUI Java is attempted to be executed:

The system reqirements are not met.
Could not find: javafx.properties
in: /usr/lib64/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11/lib
Your Java Virtual Machine seems not to support JavaFX, required to run the SAP
GUI for Java 7.50 rev 5.
Please make sure you provide a valid path to the Java FX modules during gui
installation.

However when I connect to the system using SAPGUI Java and execute the same command that eclipse wanted to show in the embeding SAPGUI Java, it works just fine.

Same here on macOS 10.14.4 with Eclipse 2019.3, SAPGUI Java 7.5 rev 5, javafx-sdk-11.0.2, and sapmachine-jdk-11.0.2.jdk

Eclipse does not know about the JDK and JavaFX information you have provided to the SAP GUI for Java. That's the reason why JavaFX is not found. You must tell Eclipse the location of JavaFX and to load these libraries. Therefor, add two additional lines to the arguments section for the Java VM in the eclipse.ini (after the line with "-vmargs" or simply at the end).

--module-path=<path to lib folder of JavaFx>
--add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH

Don't replace the existing --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM. That one is required by Eclipse and you can declare multiple inclusions. [1]

Thanks a lot Felix, that makes perfect sense - and resolved the issue for me.

Thank you!

Thanks, it also solved my ADT problem.

I'm having the exact same problem and haven't found a solution yet.
