Cannot access class com.sun.javafx.util.Utils (in module javafx.graphics) - JavaFX & Eclipse

I have follow this guide to setup JavaFX onto a Linux machine. First I have installed Java 11

asus@asus-pc:/usr/share/openjfx/lib$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.3" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu219.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu219.04.1, mixed
mode, sharing)
asus@asus-pc:/usr/share/openjfx/lib$ 

Then I have installed OpenJFX from the command sudo apt-get install openjfx

 asus@asus-pc:/usr/share/openjfx/lib$ ls
 javafx.base.jar      javafx.graphics.jar  javafx.swing.jar
 javafx.controls.jar  javafx.media.jar     javafx.web.jar
 javafx.fxml.jar      javafx.properties    src.zip
 asus@asus-pc:/usr/share/openjfx/lib$ 

Then have created a library in Eclipse.

enter image description here

Then I have include it into my java project. I try to run this code:

package se.danielmartensson.start;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application{

    /*
     * Start the start(Stage front)
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch();
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage front) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/JUSBPlotter/src/se/danielmartensson/fxml/front.fxml"));
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        front.setScene(scene);
        front.setTitle("Fracken");
        front.show();
    }

}

And I have change the run configurations to:

But when I compile the code. I get this errors:

Question:

Is there anyone where who know how to solve this error? I have setup JavaFX before, but this time, it won't work for me.

Edit 1: If I change the run configurations to:

--module-path="/usr/share/openjfx/lib" --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

I get this errors enter image description here

Having the same issue with IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 with JDK 14.

Finally resolved by adding a module-info.java like this one under src/main/java if you use maven:

module sample {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.graphics;

    opens sample;
}
