Hello, earlier today I had finished performing a software upgrade, upgrading Netbeans to version 9, Java to JDK 11 and my JavaFX SDK to the OpenJFX 11 SDK respectively.
When this was done, I had decided to see how the new modular system in Java 11 works. Upon creating a new modular project and writing some sample code for it, I found out that the project would not in any case start when requesting it to run. FYI: I did add the OpenJFX modules to the module path, didn't have any compilation/library issues and a main class is present. After wondering why it wouldn't run, it turns out that the project was never supplied a manifest.mf file by the Netbeans IDE. Obviously due to the missing manifest file, the jar that gets built during the build phase never properly starts. Is this intended behaviour of such modular projects, or is this a bug in version 9 of the IDE?
