How I can use the JavaFX framework?

Question

firstly, I want let you know how useful this community is for me, I was stuck on an error

`Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application`

and thanks to this answer I actually solved: link

However I've a couple of questions. I noticed that IntelliJ doesn't change the configurations (Like set the VM option and pick the right library for the javaFX project), so each time I've to create a new JavaFX11 or 12 project I've to being throw all the manually settings again. There's a way for set a "default behaviour" for the IDE ? It's really cumbersome.

The second question is, how I can use all the beautiful framework that the developer community offer for JavaFX? I've seen on openjFX a couple of interesting framework like TilesFX or CalendarFX but there's no information on how implement them on my IDE neither on GitHub nor here. I have seen that most of them uses Gradle files, but honestly I don't have the faintest idea of what this kind of file does and how implement it on IntelliJ. Thank's to everybody.

Answer 1

Run the project with a more recent JDK like JDK11, for example.

If it does'nt work, you probably forgot to change the JDK of your builder in IntelliJ!

Open the settings and follow the path as bellow:

FOR MAVEN

FOR GRADLE
