JavaFX for Android Studio plugin
Answered
Hi,
I'm writing an IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Android Studio using JavaFX for the GUI. In my plugin I simply launch a JavaFX application (more precisely, a class Main that extends javafx.application) from the actionPerformed method of my plugin. If I run the program in IntelliJ IDEA everything works correctly but if I export the .jar file (by Build|Prepare plugin module for deployment) and run it in Android Studio I have this error:

Although jfxrt.jar was present in my classpath I try to add this library as external (bad solution for portability), in this case, I have another error:

In order to launch javafx application from the plugin I use
Application.launch(Main.class, (java.lang.String[])null);
or
PlatformImpl.startup(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
Main main = new Main();
if (stage == null) {
stage = new Stage();
}
main.start(stage);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
I'm using Windows as OS, IntelliJ Idea 2017.1.3, Android Studio 3.0 and java jdk 1.8.0_121
I've read a lot of posts and discussions about similar problems but I couldn't find the answer. Do you know how can I fix it, please???
Thank you

Make sure Android Studio runs on the Java Runtime which has JavaFX bundled.
As far as I know, AS 3.0 should include the new runtime with JavaFX, but previous AS versions didn't have it.
See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.
If JavaFX is not included with AS 3.0, users will have to manually change the runtime per the document linked above.
