You might also consider running with a distribution of OpenJDK that includes JavaFX. That simplifies things quite a bit. No need to fiddle with the module path.
One such distribution is Bell Soft’s Liberica JDK (Full version, not Standard) https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#/java-14-current Azul has a version of Zulu that does the same. Just pick JDK FX under “Java Package” ON the download page: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?architecture=x86-64-bit Scott > On Aug 5, 2020, at 4:03 PM, Chuck Davis <cjgun...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I suggest you take Ernie's suggestion to get started (use the fxml archtype). > You can build and run your application in NB.
