[FIXED] I exported a runnable jar using eclipse of my javafx14 application but cannot run the application

Issue

I have a problem, I am currently working on a javafx14 project on eclipse, And the project is almost done.

So I exported the application as a runnable jar. But when I try to run it using console by typing.

java --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -jar app.jar

or

java -jar app.jar

or anything really. It gives me the following

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.controls not found

or this :

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

Please Help. And thanks in advance

Solution

I resolved the problem by making sure to put the jar file in the same place as the library folder.

like this:

-Jar file.

-Folder: lib

So in summary just make sure the jar file is in the same place as your lib.
