Unable to import OpenJFX Build into Eclipse

[Nir Lisker]

Hi Andrew,

I did the same setup only with Ubuntu 18, which shouldn't matter, and I
don't remember having this issue. I can try redoing it next time I boot the
Ubuntu partition.

What looks odd is that the error references the build directory. What
happens if you clean the project first?
