[FIXED] JavaFX runtime components are missing, even though I already have them in my VM options and Modules

Issue

I am getting this error:

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

Process finished with exit code 1

I checked multiple solutions on YouTube and StackOverflow such as href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKI7tDozPog" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKI7tDozPog and Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application with JDK 11

As a result, I followed their advice and added what they said to my VM options. This is what I have in my run configuration

Despite this however, I still encountered this error.

Here are some code that I have:

public class PizzeriaApplication extends Application

    /**
     * This method is the start of the application.
     * @param stage A Stage object
     * @throws IOException An IOException object
     */
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException
    {
        FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(PizzeriaApplication.class.getResource("pizzeria-view.fxml"));
        Scene scene = new Scene(fxmlLoader.load(), 800, 600);
        stage.setTitle("RU Pizzeria");
        stage.setResizable(false);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();

        //This closes the entire application if the Main Menu window is closed
        stage.setOnCloseRequest(t ->
        {
            Platform.exit();
            System.exit(0);
        });
    }

    /**
     * This method launches the application.
     * @param args An array of Strings
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        launch();
    }
}

My dependencies in modules of project structure

A response is appreciated.

Solution

Okay, so I found out why this is occurring.

I put the module path and add modules in the program arguments and not in the vm options, which is what is causing the red issue.

Now I am encountering a "Error occurred during initialization of boot layer" issue now.
