Error on launch [0.6.1]

[Shirethrone]

Hi,

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and cannot launch the ModManager. It always throws:

Error: Could not find or load main class application.ModManager

with Java 8, or

Error: Could not find or load main class application.ModManager Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

with java 10.

Which is strange, because ModManager.class is at the correct location within the .jar file. Help would be much appreciated

I can confirm this. It used to work in Java 8, but some recent update broke it.

Do you have the jre version ?

Tested and working on linux (Ubuntu 16.04) with 8u201 and 8u211

Running 8u212 on linux (Arch 5.1.7), getting the same issue with application.ModManager not being found

Hi Looks like to be the same error from this issue : https://github.com/keeps/roda-in/issues/321

Can you try this solution ? : https://github.com/keeps/roda-in/issues/321#issuecomment-373406671

Yeah, that did the trick. Forgot to install openjfx (package is java-openjfx for anyone using arch)

[ThibautSF]

Ok, i will put that in the documentation (it could be useful)

My 2cents: for 0.7.1 I have openJDK 13 installed plus javafx, but it still didnt want to start (classdef not found exception).

My (dirty?) workaround: copy the javafx 13 libs to PMM lib folder and start it with: java --module-path .\libs; --add-modules=javafx.controls -jar "%_CURRENT_FILE_DIR%\ParadoxosModManager.jar"

Maybe useful for someone in a similar situation.
