How to launch ScenicView as a Java Agent in an IntelliJ Project? - intellij-idea

I have added ScenicView to my JavaFX application in IntelliJ using the following VM Argument-javaagent:/full/path/to/ScenicView.jar as suggested in http://fxexperience.com/scenic-view/help/.
However, when I launch the application, I get an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute exception along with a few others and as a result ScenicView is never able to discover my application.
What could be wrong?

I saw in the documentation that ScenicView requires tools.jar from the JDK to be available in the classpath.
It turns out that IntelliJ only loads JRE libraries to classpath even if you point out to a full JDK as the SDK. I have added tools.jar from the JDK to the classpath at Module Settings -> SDKs -> Classpath.
After this small fix, everything works as expected.

IntelliJ Cannot resolve symbol 'String' when using IBM JDK

The similar issue was report in this post without any solution.
--
My IntelliJ Version is IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.2 (Community Edition)
For over an year, I have been working on a maven project which uses a customized ibm-jdk8 and a customized maven installation.
So I've configured global maven runner & import settings & project & module SDK settings to use this custom JDK.
All this setup had been working fine for over an year.
Yesterday, I updated IDEA to newer version, I'm not sure what was the reason but I started getting wired IDE errors.
So I invalidated the cache and restarted the IDE,
When that did not solve the issues, I manually deleted following folders
All ~/AppData/*/JetBrains folders .
.idea folder inside project root.
project-name.iml file inside project root.
After that I updated all intelliJ setting same as above, but
Since then I've been getting Cannot resolve symbol 'String'
Strangely all other JDK classes are detected, but in whole code String is not working.
It's a known issue specific to IBM JDK.
The workaround is to manually add vm.jar file from JDK_HOME\jre\bin\default\jclSC180\vm.jar to the SDK classpath tab in IntelliJ IDEA.

Can't load the main class/runnable jar JavafX 8 project [duplicate]

i created a Javafx project using JDK 8 and when i tried to export it to a runnable .jar file, i got surprised that it doesn't run using CMD, and gives the following error :
"Javafx compenents are missing"
while it works perfectly during the compiling time(using the IDE) when i accessed the .jar files, i found it has just .class files (that i made), and the needed library files that haven't been exported (i made sure to select the "extract need library files extract required libraries into generated jar" option in Eclipse), is there a reason behind of this? and a way to solve it? thanks in advance
Ps: i tried this using Eclipse and Intellij IDE
I just wanna mention once again that I'm using JDK 8 where it has JavaFX library inside of it.
Did you try this?
There are detailed instructions on how to configure your IDE to run JavaFX with newer OpenJDKs (which do not come with JFX components in it).
It also explains how to create a new JavaFX Maven project from archetype, with all the necessary plugins to easily build your application while including the minimal Java components for it (using jlink).
This will ensure that anybody using your application will have those components.

How to build jar with javafx in openjdk12

I'm trying to build jar for javafx desktop application. Working in IntelijIdea, jdk 12,using javafx12, link javafx sdk, write VM-options in menu run-edit configuration. In IDE all working correctly, my app launches and works. But when I try to create artifact and then build it to jar all brokes. IDE tell, that fx:deploy isn't there. Then my app don't work even in IDE.
I got stuck here.
Can you, please, help, how to build this javafx to launch it without IDE?
p. s. Know, that in jdk8, where javafx still includes, it's easier, but is it really no other way to create independent from IDE javafx, than using jdk8?
Built GUI with swing, created artifact and then built it to jar.
There wasn't problems.
But I don't want swing...
actual error: "Error. Java FX Packager: Can't build artifact - fx:deploy is not available in this JDK.
Will be really greatfull for tricks or tips with that.

How to setup Geb 2.0 in IntelliJ (run/debug configurations)?

I'm using Geb 2.0 (http://gebish.org/) and have downloaded the Gradle sample (https://github.com/geb/geb-example-gradle).
All works just fine on my machine with all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, ChromeHeadless).
I have imported the project in IntelliJ (latest Ultimate edition) and all normal code editing functions are working fine.
What fails is attempting to run a spec. I get an exception with the helpful hint of the path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property.
However, I can't figure out what to point it at. I've tried pointing at the selenium-chrome-driver-3.6.0.jar but that results in failure also.
I'm using -Dgeb.env=chrome and -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=SOMERANDOMEPATHSHERE
Help?
The Gradle example Geb project is set up to generate the appropriately configured IntelliJ project capable fo running the specs from the IDE. Simply run ./gradlew idea and load the project by opening the geb-example-gradle.ipr file in IntelliJ instead of loading the project by importing it's Gradle build the way you do.

Why IntelliJ does not show errors in java code?

How to configure intelliJ to disply errors in java code like eclipse?
see the screenshot
It does show the errors you expect, if you don't have the JUnit jar files in the classpath.
I created the exact same file as you showed in my IntelliJ and it really shows the errors:
What you might have done is that you have probably accidentally added the jar to the classpath.
Check the External Libraries as you can see in the picture. If there is no JUnit there, then it really is missing.
Now I can easily add the JUnit jar from IntelliJ and you'll notice the difference in the External Libraries:
Here it has been added under External Libraries and the error goes away.
You almost certainly already included the junit library into your IntelliJ project configuration.
This is easy to do, since IntelliJ has a quick action (alt-enter) to Add junit to classpath.
Look in Settings -> Libraries / Global Libraries and you will see it there. :)
Or you can look directly in Settings on the relevant Module -> Dependencies
Either that, or the project you are working in is configured already (perhaps via maven?) to have a junit dependency.
