Creating jar from javaFX gradle project
New to Gradle, and trying to make a executable jar so I can run my project on a raspberry PI. It builds and runs succesfully, and after building jar with the gradle panel on the right in intellij, I try to run it with
java -jar .\build\libs\<name of jar file>
It then gets an error:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.openjfx.MainApp
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application
My build.gradle file:
plugins {
id 'application'
id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.8'
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'org.openjfx.MainApp'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.kordamp.ikonli:ikonli-javafx:11.3.4'
compile 'org.kordamp.ikonli:ikonli-weathericons-pack:11.3.4'
compile group: 'org.dom4j', name: 'dom4j', version: '2.1.0'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.10.3'
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.23.0' // Google cal
compile 'com.google.oauth-client:google-oauth-client-jetty:1.23.0' // Google cal
compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-calendar:v3-rev305-1.23.0' // Google cal
}
javafx {
version = "12.0.2"
modules = [ 'javafx.controls', 'javafx.fxml' ]
}
mainClassName = 'org.openjfx.MainApp'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8 // Google cal
targetCompatibility = 1.8 // Google cal
version = '1.0' // Google cal
Started out with this simple guide: https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/
This was a simple JavaFX and IntelliJ with Gradle project, and then added some dependencies, and classes.
Runs ok, but when I stop I also get this fail:
Execution failed for task ':run'.
> Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
Maybe it has something to do with that, but don't understand the whole gradle process yet.
Appreciate all the help I can get

Hello,
Could you please share sample project for investigation?
Here is my project structure:
But noticed an error in my MANIFEST.MF, where it 'cannot resolve the class MainApp'. Not sure how to fix this, the code looks like this:
Have you tried to run "File | Invalidate Caches" and reimporting project from Gradle tool window?
Is it possible to attach exact project for investigation? Probably there is something wrong with configuration.

Please check this part of documentation: https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-java
In order to create a runnable jar with all the required JavaFX dependencies, you will need to use a launcher class that doesn't extend from Application.
