JavaFX Installation Issues: Error initializing QuantumRenderer [duplicate]

Question

I've been trying to install JavaFX for the last couple of hours, and I'm using VSCode. I'm trying to run a simple program, and I'm getting the following error:

Graphics Device initialization failed for :  es2, sw

I'd really appreciate some help :)

I'm using Java 15, I'm on MacOS Big Sur, and I downloaded JavaFX 17 from https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/.

Answer 1

Turns out I had the wrong JavaFX runtime downloaded. I had downloaded the x64 SDK instead of the AArch64 SDK.

Answer 2

After downloading javafx17 and extracting them, i copy all jars in the folder \javafx-sdk-17\lib to Referenced Libraries in VS Code. Then i can compile and run HelloFX.java successfully with the following commands:

Compile:

javac --module-path path/to/javafx17/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls HelloFX.java

Run:

java --module-path path/to/javafx/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls HelloFX

Hope it works for you.
