Running JavaFX-11 applications from within Eclipse fails

Wed Nov 7 16:21:53 UTC 2018

I have a related problem when developing JavaFX in Eclipse and Win10 that
started in 11.

I created a modular project and in its build configuration (in Eclipse) I
added the JavaFX base and graphics projects (that point to rt\modules\...)
and OpenJDK11 to the module path.
In the module-info file I required the JavaFX modules and exported my
package.

Compilation is fine, but during runtime (with -Dprism.verbose=true) I get
an error:

Prism pipeline init order: d3d sw
Using Double Precision Marlin Rasterizer
Using dirty region optimizations
Not using texture mask for primitives
Not forcing power of 2 sizes for textures
Using hardware CLAMP_TO_ZERO mode
Opting in for HiDPI pixel scaling

The paths listed at the end are those from %PATH% and none point to the
development modules. So, I added to the runtime VM args in the launch
configuration:

-Djava.library.path="...\rt\modules\javafx.graphics\bin"
and I also tried with
"...\rt\modules\javafx.graphics\bin\com\sun\prism\d3d" because this is
where com.sun.prism.d3d.D3DPipeline is.

I get the same error. Did anyone encounter this?
