java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/ModuleLayer

I'm exporting an .jar file into an .exe file, it's a console application and the command line should appears on clicking.
But I'm getting this error and dont know how to find the solution, I'm using exe4j.
Does it needs a lib or an option that I've missed?
Here's the stacktrace:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jhdf5 in java.library.path

I get the above error while running a Scala Saddle 1.3.4 application that saves and loads h5 files.
I have already tried without success configuring the following (Win64):
-Djava.library.path=C:\Dev\Tools\HDF5\1.10.0\lib\
-Djava.library.path=C:\Dev\Tools\HDF5\1.10.0\lib\jarhdf5-1.10.0.jar
-Dnative.libpath.jhdf5=C:\Dev\Tools\HDF5\1.10.0\lib\hdf5_java.dll
-Dnative.libpath=C:\Dev\Tools\HDF5\1.10.0\lib\
as well as a few other alternatives but I still get the stacktrace:

I had the same problem when just launching the binary on a windows OS. After launching the HDFView.exe a command window popped up, and closed again.
After launching it via a CLI I saw error you mentioned:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jhdf5 in java.library.path
I solved it with #kaladin anwser from above: I added the path <path to app>/HDFViewApp-3.1.2-win10_64-vs16\HDFView\app\bin to the PATH system enviornment variable. After saving it, I restarted the EXE file and it worked directly as expected!

SpreadsheetView Error - controlsfx

I used spreadsheet view of controlsfx 8.0.6U25 with earlier jdk for my work and it worked good. Recently I updated to JDK 8U40 and controlsfx 8.20.8. Sadly, the spreadsheet view won't load. I get error in my IDE anytime I run the same project. Please, has anyone faced the same problem? What is the solution? Thank you.
Please find the error I get below. I made no changes before the update.

Exception running application myStudentAssessNew.StudentAsessment

Well, the solution rather looks simple. Since controlsfx project has not yet been updated to meet JDK 8u40 and above as at now, I just reinstalled the previous jdk (JDK 8u25) and I am okay now.

Not sure what's going on. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

AFAIK SoapUI is distributed with its own JRE. From the stacktrace it appears that the application cannot find the runtime jar (rt.jar). Its probably easier to download a new copy of the test tool to resolve this.
If the JAVA_HOME environmental variable is that is set SoapUI uses the JRE installed at that location otherwise it uses its own copy. Its possible that JAVA_HOME is pointing to a JRE which has a corrupt runtime JAR file.
Try clearing this environmental variable or setting it to an another JRE

If you have Java correctly installed on your system, just use the zip version.
You may need to set your JAVA_HOME variable if you continue to see the same error.
Zip versions for every platform are available here.
Just extract the zip, and run bin/soapui.sh

NPE with logging while launching webstart on jre7 update 40

My application was running fine until I upgraded my jre to 7u40. When my application is initializing, it's doing Logger.getLogger("ClassName"), and I'm getting the following exception.

The exception is coming from this line:
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Applet.class.getName());
Could it be because of any sideeffects with fix http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8017174 ?
A workaround is to open the java control center and enable logging. This is a concern since by default "Enable Logging" is unchecked. If I select "Enable Logging", the application starts fine.

This problem seems to be fixed in java7 update 45.

Try to package java.util.logging.* with your app in a JAR, and make sure it's on the classpath. That way it is always available. Also, what does your logging.properties look like?
