I have two JPMS module in two files: modulea.jar
and moduleb.jar
. Modulea requires javafx.controls
module. I need to use these modules in new layer, so I do:
ModuleFinder finder = ModuleFinder.of(modAPath, modBPath);
ModuleLayer parent = ModuleLayer.boot();
Configuration cf = parent.configuration().resolveAndBind(finder, ModuleFinder.of(), new HashSet<>());
ClassLoader scl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
ModuleLayer newLayer = parent.defineModulesWithOneLoader(cf, scl);
I thought that JDK modules will be loaded automatically but I get
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.controls not found, required by modulea
at java.base/java.lang.module.Resolver.findFail(Resolver.java:889)
at java.base/java.lang.module.Resolver.resolve(Resolver.java:191)
at java.base/java.lang.module.Resolver.bind(Resolver.java:297)
at java.base/java.lang.module.Configuration.resolveAndBind(Configuration.java:428)
at java.base/java.lang.module.Configuration.resolveAndBind(Configuration.java:230)
At the same time when I do: java --list-modules
, the output is:
...
javafx.base@9
javafx.controls@9
javafx.deploy@9
javafx.fxml@9
javafx.graphics@9
javafx.media@9
javafx.swing@9
javafx.web@9
How to fix it?
From @AlanBateman's comment:
The javafx.controls
module is not loaded by default. You can force it into the boot layer by running with --add-modules javafx.controls
.
NOTE: Starting with Java 11 JavaFX is a separate project.
