As per this article, Future of JavaFx

Starting with JDK 11, Oracle is making JavaFX easier to adopt by making the technology available as a separate download, decoupled from the JDK.

As you mentioned, you are using JDK 12.0.2. JavaFx library are no longer part of JDK, they need to be added separately. Here you can find official documentation on how to proceed with JavaFX 12 development Install JavaFx

JFX is not part of JDK since Java 11. They are now distributed as standalone packages. Some reading can be found here

You can either add the OpenJFX libraries by downloading them from here, or you can use another JDK distribution such as Azul, which bundles the OpenJFX with their OpenJDK distributions.
