JavaFX-11 error while deploying: module not found

Question

I'm trying to deploy a very basic JavaFX application. I'm just creating a new JavaFX project and trying to deploy it to .exe but it gives me a module not found error.

This is the console log:

were you able to solve it? I have the same problem. – Quip

Can you show us your lib folder path? – Desai

I solved it by adding a lib folder to the project with a subfolder "dll" which contains the dll files from the javafx installation directory and its subfolder "bin". I had to add this folder to the classpath (build-paths of the project). – Quip

the problem is that it throws the error when reading the module-info.java file – Meatball

i couldn't make it work, but i found another way to export a javafx app as exe. With the new jpackage tool in the jdk 14 you can package your app into exe or msi for windows and the other extensions for linux and mac. this is not a solution for the question i posted but is a workaround – Meatball
