Unable to load fontawesome library to Intellij Idea despite connected library

Question

I am new to JavaFX but I have already watched so much tutorials on YT how to do stuff and such, including connecting fontawesome to JavaFX project. My icons appear properly in the scene builder, but when I launch the app - there are a lot of errors telling that probably library was not found(?).

SCENE BUILDER VERSION: 8.5 (because fontawesome icons dont work with higher versions)

Java SDK: 11

Fontawesome version: 8.9

I tried to connect jar file as a global library in the project's structure - is this a correct way to do that?

This is the error (actually the most valuable part of it)

And this is my fxml import part of the font awesome:

<?import de.jensd.fx.glyphs.fontawesome.FontAwesomeIconView?>

EDIT:

IML file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
    <exclude-output />

    <orderEntry type="library" name="JFoenix-9.0.8" level="project" />
  </component>
</module>

I am not sure if this is what you were asking about - because I have read a lot about dependencies right now and it seems like the more I read about it, the more confused I am. I have added JAR file to the project's libraries folder in the modules section. Also I found post on other site where guy had a similar problem and at the end he said: "I fixed the issue by just updating my jfoenix to version 9.0.6 from 8.0.7"

Unfortunately it didn't worked for me. Could you tell me please - am I connecting this library in a right way?

Do you have the library or the jar added to the module dependencies? https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-managing-modules.html#working-with-module-dependencies. — CrazyCoder, Apr 18 '19 at 05:01
@CrazyCoder I have just checked your advise: 1. went to the modules in the project structure 2. i saw that modules are there but they are not "checked" 3. i checked them and clicked "apply" but still doesn't work - same output. — Alraku, Apr 18 '19 at 09:41
Checked is for export and is not relevant in this case. Please share the [Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). — CrazyCoder, Apr 18 '19 at 09:42
I have reedited my post because giving a part of module-info code was unnecesary as well. Instead of it I posted code of IML file which is for dependencies - am I right? Also I updated a describtion of my problem. It seems like you are the one who understands my problem. — Alraku, Apr 18 '19 at 16:01
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/51670666/104891. It looks like you need Java 9+ compatible library instead of Java 8. — CrazyCoder, Apr 18 '19 at 18:07
Sadly it still didn't work for me - I am in a really bad mood because I have just lost almost 10 hours on solving that thing... I tried to download the most fresh versions from repositories in scene builder but after adding jar - no components are visible in Scene builder. Even after downloading manually jar files and adding them into the SB and Intellij idea - still the same problem. What is worse - no matter if it is FontAwesome or JFoenix - same errors so maybe I am wrongly adding them? I tried using maven project but it completly broke my application now. — Alraku, Apr 19 '19 at 13:35

I am using JDK.12.0.1 and it works good for me but you should add a JAR file from this website. Add it to your current project.

You have to modify also your module-info.java with requires fontawesomefx. I hope that will helps you.
