Nitrite/Java: Running java -jar nitrite-explorer-3.4.3.jar problem

[timmolter]

java -jar nitrite-explorer-3.4.3.jar 
Error: Could not find or load main class org.dizitart.no2.ui.NitriteManager
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

java -version
openjdk version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.1+12 (build 17.0.1+12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.1+12 (build 17.0.1+12, mixed mode)

Any ideas what the problem is?

You need jdk 1.8 to run the nitrite explorer jar. It uses JavaFX. Java 1.8+ does not have JavaFX bundled with it.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I still get:

java -jar nitrite-explorer-3.4.3.jar 
Error: Could not find or load main class org.dizitart.no2.ui.NitriteManager

Java version:

java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_322"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Zulu 8.60.0.21-CA-macos-aarch64) (build 1.8.0_322-b06)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Zulu 8.60.0.21-CA-macos-aarch64) (build 25.322-b06, mixed mode)

I downloaded the jar from here: https://github.com/nitrite/nitrite-java/releases BTW.

Any openjdk build does not have JavaFX runtime library in it. Try to use oracle jdk 1.8 instead. This link might help you to understand the problem - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40267122/openjdk-cannot-find-main-class-in-jar-while-oraclejdk-can

It works now with Oracle JDK 1.8. Thank you!
