When trying to launch the JavaFX "Hello world" sample, the native libraries are not found -- or, they are rejected. The symptom is a "No toolkit found" exception. There seems to be some specificity to macOS, as signing is mentioned at some point.
What I did (on macOS 10.14.6):
- Installed Java 12 from https://adoptopenjdk.net
- Downloaded the JavaFX 12 SDK for macOS from http://gluonhq.com/download/javafx-12-0-2-sdk-mac. Unzipped it as
$WRK_DIR/javafx-sdk-12.0.2
- Downloaded the JavaFX "hello world" sample from https://github.com/openjfx/samples. Unzipped it as
$WRK_DIR/samples-master
Then I followed the instructions of the Getting Started (here or here). I chose the simplest path: no IDE, no build system like Maven, non-modular app, nothing but plain CLI.
$ WRK_DIR=$(pwd)
$ ls -lF

The research I did led me to think that the native libraries are not found. So I tried to add $PATH_TO_FX
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and DY LD_LIBRARY_PATH
with no better result. Following this comment I added -Dprism.verbose=true
to the command line:
$ java -Dprism.verbose=true --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules=javafx.controls -cp out hellofx.HelloFX

<trimmed the rest of errors that are essentially the above>
So indeed there is a problem of (at least) libprism_es2.dylib
not being found. I then tried to add $PATH_TO_FX
to java.library.path
:
$ java -Dprism.verbose=true -Djava.library.path=$PATH_TO_FX --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules=javafx.controls -cp out hellofx.HelloFX
Prism pipeline init order: es2 sw

Prism pipeline name = com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Pipeline
Loading ES2 native library ... prism_es2
GraphicsPipeline.createPipeline failed for com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Pipeline
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Users/bruno/try/javafx-sdk-12.0.2/lib/libprism_es2.dylib: dlopen(/Users/bruno/try/javafx-sdk-12.0.2/lib/libprism_es2.dylib, 1): no suitable image found. Did find:

<...>
Now the library is found, but is not considered valid.
