I've been trying to set up on JavaFX in VSCode. I added the JavaFX jar files to the referenced libraries and added the following statement to launch.json (obviously with my path to the lib folder):
"vmArgs": "--module-path \"C:/path/to/javafx-sdk-19/lib\" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml"
This is exactly what multiple youtube videos and other StackOverflow posts have said to do, but I still keep getting this error.
(I know that I can use Maven or Gradle in VScode but am completely unfamiliar with both and still want to try to make this work.)
Hopefully I didn't miss anything painfully obvious but thank you for any help.
You should download JavaFX for your JDK version.
Uncompress JavaFX.zip and move bin folder to your project.
You should create two classes, one for writing the JavaFX window code and one for running it.
The error can be fixed.
I suggest you learn how to use Maven or Gradle in vscode. It is very important.
At runtime, your app needs access to the JavaFX (OpenJFX) libraries.
Either:
Install a copy of the OpenJFX libraries with your app, as directed in the Answer by RedSnack-BCS.
Replace your Java implementation with one that includes the OpenJFX libraries.
I know of two such implementations of Java (JDKs) that include necessary libraries:
ZuluFX, a special edition of their Zulu product, by Azul Systems.
LibericaFX, a special edition of their Liberica product, by BellSoft.
You may have identified a third approach with the use of passing arguments to the JVM. But I am not familiar with that solution.
I have problem importing import "javafx.util.Pair" into my program.
after searching the net I've found this answer cannot resolve symbol javafx.application in IntelliJ Idea IDE and I've installed desired jar file but still I've problem to import.
this is what I face to when open java jdk.
I don't know the why the "jfxrt.jar" is different.
note the black arrow on the folder icon
open the File | Project Structure dialog, there under Platform Settings select SDKs and then your JDK 1.8. On the right you then see all the jars that make up the classpath to your SDK. Make sure that your jfxrt.jar is in that list, if not, you can add it by clicking the '+' button at the bottom.
Update May 2020
JavaFX is no longer part of the Oracle or OpenJDK default distributions. Instead it is available as a seperate library or module set.
For instructions on using JavaFX in your application, see the documentation at:
https://openjfx.io
For instructions on working with a modern JavaFX installation and Idea, also see the related question:
IntelliJ can't recognize JavaFX 11 with OpenJDK 11
You don't need to "install the desired jar" (whatever that means).
You don't need to do that for JavaFX. You should not do anything explicitly with jfxrt.jar either in the filesystem or by adding it to a project classpath. If doing something on the filesystem, that is especially bad as jfxrt.jar is not made to be standalone and requires related native libraries shipped with the JDK in order to work.
The JavaFX code should be part of the JDK installation you are using. Perhaps you are using a Java version below 8 or an OpenJDK implementation that does not include JavaFX. If so, then install the Oracle JDK 8+ and set idea to use it. Everything should just work then and all of related JavaFX imports will resolve.
I would like to use JavaFX for my game's start screen.
However, for some reason, the import "javafx" does not seem to be recognized.
At first, I (for some weird reason) thought I needed e(fx)clipse, however I successfully installed that and it does not fix the issue. I have found nothing else on the internet that fixes the issue.
Do I need to import javafx as a library or something? And if so, where?
Thanks!
Even in Java7, the javafx jar is included, but not in the classpath by default (you need java8 for that).
So, you could just copy the jfxrt.jar from your java installation's /lib directory into your local project's includes, and add it to the classpath there (ie. java -cp .*:lib/*)
You might probably missing right version jdk in your classpath.
above JDK 7u6 versions have JavaFX included with the standard JDK and JRE bundles so you can download it from Oracle website. Here is the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I found the solution to this problem. Please refer and download the jdk 1.8 and installed.
I'm working on a Java project that uses the JNI. The JNI calls a custom library that I've written myself, let's say mylib.dll, and that depends on a 3rd party library, libsndfile-1.dll.
When I run my program it crashes with
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\...path...\mylib.dll: Can't find dependent libraries.
I've searched this site (and others) and I've tried a number of fixes:
I ran dependency walker. DW gave a couple of warnings -- that two libraries required by libsndfile, MPR.DLL and SHLWAPI.DLL, had "unresolved imports" -- but the DW FAQ said that these warnings could be safely ignored.
I fixed the method names in mylib.dll, as suggested here. The method names had somehow gotten mangled by the compiler, but I added linker flags and the dll method names now match those in my jni header file exactly.
I put all of these DLLs in the same directory -- the same directory as the .jar that calls them -- to ensure that they're on the right PATH.
No dice.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I'm doing my development in Visual Studio 2010 on a MacBook pro (via Parallels). I'm doing my testing in Windows XP on a toshiba laptop.
I'm pretty sure the classpath and the shared library search path have little to do with each other. According to The JNI Book (which admittedly is old), on Windows if you do not use the java.library.path system property, the DLL needs to be in the current working directory or in a directory listed in the Windows PATH environment variable.
Update:
Looks like Oracle has removed the PDF from its website. I've updated the link above to point to an instance of the PDF living at University of Texas - Arlington.
Also, you can also read Oracle's HTML version of the JNI Specification. That lives in the Java 8 section of the Java website and so hopefully will be around for a while.
Update 2:
At least in Java 8 (I haven't checked earlier versions) you can do:
java -XshowSettings:properties -version
to find the shared library search path. Look for the value of the java.library.path property in that output.
I want to inform this interesting case, after tried all the above method, the error is still there. The weird thing is it works on a Windows 7 computer, but on Windows XP it is not. Then I use dependency walker and found on the Windows XP there is no VC++ Runtime as my dll requirement. After installing VC++ Runtime package here it works like a charm. The thing that disturbed me is it keeps telling Can't find dependent libraries, while intuitively the JNI dependent dll is there, however it finally turns out the JNI dependent dll requires another dependent dl. I hope this helps.
You need to load your JNI library.
System.loadLibrary loads the DLL from the JVM path (JDK bin path).
If you want to load an explicit file with a path, use System.load()
See also: Difference between System.load() and System.loadLibrary in Java
If you load a 32 bit version of your dll with a 64 bit JRE you could have this issue. This was my case.
Please verify your library path is right or not. Of course, you can use following code to check your library path path:
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
You can appoint the java.library.path when launching a Java application:
java -Djava.library.path=path ...
Did have identical problem with on XP machine when installing javacv and opencv in combination with Eclipse. It turned out that I was missing the following files:
msvcp100.dll
msvcr100.dll
Once these were installed, the project compiled and ran OK.
When calling System.loadLibrary(), the JVM will look on the java.library.path for your native library. However, if that native library declares any dependencies on other native libraries, then the operating system will be tasked with finding those native library dependencies.
Since the operating system has no concept of the java.library.path, it will not see any directories you place on the java.library.path. Instead, it will only search the directories on PATH environment variable of the operating system. This is totally fine if the native library dependency is an operating system native library because it will be found on the PATH. However, if the native library dependency is a native library that you or someone else created, then it will not be found on the PATH unless you place it there. This behavior is strange, unexpected, and not well documented, but it is documented in the OpenJDK issue tracker here. You can also find another StackOverflow answer reinforcing this explanation, here.
So, you have a couple of options. You could either load each native library in the correct dependency order using System.loadLibrary(), or you could modify the PATH to include the directories where your native libraries are stored.
Short answer: for "can't find dependent library" error, check your $PATH (corresponds to bullet point #3 below)
Long answer:
Pure java world: jvm uses "Classpath" to find class files
JNI world (java/native boundary): jvm uses "java.library.path" (which defaults to $PATH) to find dlls
pure native world: native code uses $PATH to load other dlls
I found a great article by some friends at keepsafe that went through the same thing I did. It worked for me, so hopefully it helps you out as well! Have a read if you're interested (The Perils of Loading Native Libraries on Android) or just use
compile 'com.getkeepsafe.relinker:relinker:1.2.3'
and replace
System.loadLibrary("myLibrary");
with
ReLinker.loadLibrary(context, "mylibrary");
installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Fixed it
I used to have exactly the same problem, and finally it was solved.
I put all the dependent DLLs into the same folder where mylib.dll was stored and make sure the JAVA Compiler could find it (if there is no mylib.dll in the compilation path, there would be an error reporting this during compiling). The important thing you need to notice is you must make sure all the dependent libs are of the same version with mylib.dll, for example if your mylib.dll is release version then you should also put the release version of all its dependent libs there.
Hope this could help others who have encountered the same problem.
I had the same issue, and I tried everything what is posted here to fix it but none worked for me.
In my case I'm using Cygwin to compile the dll. It seems that JVM tries to find the JRE DLLs in the virtual Cygwin path.
I added the the Cygwin's virtual directory path to JRE's DLLs and it works now.
I did something like:
SET PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_45";%PATH%
In my situation, I was trying to run a java web service in Tomcat 7 via a connector in Eclipse. The app ran well when I deployed the war file to an instance of Tomcat 7 on my laptop. The app requires a jdbc type 2 driver for "IBM DB2 9.5". For some odd reason the connector in Eclispe could not see or use the paths in the IBM DB2 environment variables, to reach the dll files installed on my laptop as the jcc client. The error message either stated that it failed to find the db2jcct2 dll file or it failed to find the dependent libraries for that dll file. Ultimately, I deleted the connector and rebuilt it. Then it worked properly. I'm adding this solution here as documentation, because I failed to find this specific solution anywhere else.
Creating static library worked for me, compiling using g++ -static. It bundles the dependent libraries along with the build.
place the required dlls in folder and set the folder path in PATH environment variable.
make sure updated environment PATH variable is reflected.
I was facing same issue with ffmpeg library after merging two Android projects as one project.
Actually issue was arriving due to two different versions of ffmpeg library but they were loaded with same names in memory. One library was placed in JNiLibs while other was inside another library used as module. I was not able to modify the code of module as it was readonly so I renamed the one used in my own code to ffmpegCamera and loaded it in memory with same name.
System.loadLibrary("ffmpegCamera");
This resolved the issue and now both versions of libraries are loading well as separate name and process id in memory.
I faced the same problem after migrating my CI into a new machine.
I was still facing it even after applying all the above solutions.
The problem was in my new machine, there was Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable x86 installed in it. But my new machine was having 64-bit CPU and operating system. So the fix was that i just updated and installed the 64 bit version from here .
Go to http://tess4j.sourceforge.net/usage.html and click on Visual C++ Redistributable for VS2012
Download it and run VSU_4\vcredist_x64.exe or VSU_4\vcredist_x84.exe depending upon your system configuration
Put your dll files inside the lib folder, along with your other libraries (eg \lib\win32-x86\your dll files).
I have a code written in java. when i load it in eclipse it shows an error in the java code import line " The import com.sun.java.browser.plugin2 cannot be resolved"
import com.sun.java.browser.plugin2.*;
How can i fix this error..??
It's possible that it's to do with the version of Java you're building your project with, since the new applet class files were only introduced in Java 1.6 / 6.0. So, right click on your project on the left, go to Properties, Java Build Path, Libraries tab, and scroll down the list until you see JRE System Library. Note the version. If it reads less than 6.0 / 1.6, you're using an old version.
Click on JRE System Library, click Remove (make sure you have at least Java 1.6 installed!) then click Add Library. Select JRE System Library and select your Java version. If this isn't listed, go to Window > Preferences, Java > Installed JREs, click Add, and locate your JRE. Then repeat the same process and it should work.
(Edit: ignore what I said, the com.sun.* classes are hidden from the user. I don't think you can use it)
As far as I know, packages com.sun.* are implementation details of certain jvm and must not be used by application developers. They can be slightly different even between minor versions of jvm. Difference between major versions or jvms of different vendors can be sufficient. So IBM's and Sun's jvms have different structure of those packages. Only packages java.* and javax.* and org.* should be used. To fix this error correctly you must not use this package. To hack it around, you can try configure eclipse to use appropriate jvm though I don't know how to do it.
Update:
There's a FAQ entry about those packages. Thanks to R. Bemrose.
Did you type this in? Then the build path in incorrect. If not no sure what is going on.
Are you sure you are using the right JRE for your project? Like Java6?
See also JRE settings, and then make sure your project uses a Java6 JRE.
You have to add the plugin to the MANIFEST.MF dependency entry
Open MANIFEST.MF
Got to tab Dependencies
Add the plugin your referenced class is placed
You also have to be sure, that the package, the called class is lying, is added in the "Runtime" tab of the MANIFEST file.
EDIT:
The MANIFEST file you can find in the /META-INF directory
