To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install jre/jdk 21
2. Install openjfx 21
3. Ty to start mca selector

Managed to get it to work. I had to manually locate the libraries like so:

java --module-path "${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.base.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.fxml.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.graphics.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.media.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.swing.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.web.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.controls.jar" --add-modules=javafx.base --add-modules=javafx.fxml --add-modules=javafx.graphics --add-modules=javafx.media --add-modules=javafx.swing --add-modules=javafx.web --add-modules=javafx.controls -jar mcaselector-2.4.2.jar

Perhaps including a bash script that does this alongside the jar file would be a good idea.

Where can I put this code you send so it will work on my end where I am experiencing the same issue? I am on windows though is the difference.

You will have to make a .bat file to put this in. You will also have to replace the paths to resemble how they are on windows.

Does not even work either way:

For Linux users

My solution was to:

1. Create a run.sh with the command mentioned by @txtsd
2. Install JavaFX manually by copy-paste

1. The file

The run.sh file (Marked as executable of course):

#!/bin/bash

JAVA_HOME=/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk
java --module-path "${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.base.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.fxml.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.graphics.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.media.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.swing.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.web.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/javafx.controls.jar" --add-modules=javafx.base --add-modules=javafx.fxml --add-modules=javafx.graphics --add-modules=javafx.media --add-modules=javafx.swing --add-modules=javafx.web --add-modules=javafx.controls -jar mcaselector-2.5.3.jar

[!NOTE] My $JAVA_HOME variable was not set for some reason.

2. The installation

You should download JavaFX (I've used the artifacts from GluonHQ), for your version (Mine was 21).

You'll see something like this in the .zip file:

You should unpack somewhere the lib/ folder, and then with the console copy it (You'll need root perms):

sudo cp lib/* /lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk/lib

[!WARNING] You may need to adjust the java folder, mine was /lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk/lib but yours could be other, if you're using another jdk/jre version.

You may find it using whereis java in a console!

The thing is, that everything inside lib/ of the zip file, must end in the same lib/ folder of your java installation.

3. That's it

You should be able to run run.sh file via command ./run.sh (or double click?)

Remember to make it executable chmod +x run.sh!

I hope that this helps someone to save some minutes of googling, trying things and wasting time.

same command for windows, just extract the sdk (download) to the same folder as mcaselector
