JavaFX Graphics Device initialization failed for : es2, sw

Question

So I made small JavaFX project that runs fine in IDE. But when exported in runnable jar in does not run on double click.

In terminal I get following error. I am running Ubuntu 15.04 on 64bit system.

I already did a lot of google search and installed both GTK3 and GTK2 libraries. I am aware that this is copy of this question but I think it is outdated and non of the methods there have helped me.

I tried adding external jars to my project as gtk.jar, swt.jar, swt-gtk-java3.8.jar and installed every possible library like libswt-gtk-3-java, libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev, libswt-gtk-java-2, libgtk-3-dev, libgtk-3 and libswt-gtk-4-java.

Bellow is detailed error message in terminal using flag -Dprism.verbose=true.

Answer 1

What's (probably) going wrong

To build executable jar,i use Eclipse export project,runnable jar,package required libraries into jar

Don't use the "package required libraries into jar" to package JavaFX applications. I am not an Eclipse user, but that sounded like a weird option (standard Java packaging does not include library jar files inside your application jar files). So I googled what that option is and came up with this:

• Difference between extracting and packaging libraries into a jar file

It seems that the option actually does place libraries inside your application jar and creates some kind of custom class loading system in order to use them.

My guess is that you might have added the jfxrt.jar file as a library file in Eclipse and then it is exported and added to your application jar file by the "package required libraries into jar" option. However jfxrt.jar is not a stand-alone thing, it is not designed to be used outside the directory of the java runtime installation. jfxrt.jar requires binary files (e.g. .so files on unix or .dll files on windows) that interface to the graphics system of the OS in order for JavaFX to function correctly. So you really should not be trying to extract it and use it outside of a JRE installation or a self-contained application.

Solution

What you should do instead is to package your application using any of:

• e(fx)clipse packaging.
• javafx maven packaging.
• javafx ant packaging or the javapackager tool.
